note 95388 added to function.strtotime

When trying to find X months ago do not use strtotime("-$x months"); this will fail on 31 day months. eg: running date("n",strtotime("-1 months")); on 31st of Dec will return 12 (Dec), not 11 (Nov) as I previously expected. Instead you can use something like this: <?php $months_ago = 1; // change this to whatever $month = date("n") - ($months_ago % 12); $year = date("Y") - ($months_ago % 12); ?> <?php $months_ago = 15; // change this to whatever $month = date("n") - ($months_ago % 12); $year = date("Y") - ($months_ago % 12); ?> ---- Server IP: 117.55.229.1 Probable Submitter: 121.208.5.105 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95388 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95388/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95388/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95388/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95388/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95388/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95388/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95388 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95388 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
