Displaying dates

I strongly recommend reading the date section of the manual... it takes all of 5 minutes, and you would have come across strtodate(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php ... which can accept almost any English date/time phrase (like "next month"), and convert it to a Unix time stamp... combined with date()'s ability to accept a given timestamp (as well as the current time), you get exactly what you want in three lines :) <? $today = date("j-M-Y H:i"); $next_month = date("j-M-Y H:i",strtotime("next month")); $last_month = date("j-M-Y H:i",strtotime("last month")); echo "Last Month: $last_month <BR>"; echo "Today: $today <BR>"; echo "Next Month: $next_month <BR>"; ?> It gets a little more complex when you're not dealing with the current server time I think... but that wasn't your question.
