Beginners looking into how to find dates in the future and past should note the following:
In the example:
<?php
$tomorrow = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d")+1, date("Y"));
$lastmonth = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")-1, date("d"), date("Y"));
$nextyear = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")+1);
?>
this generates a timestamp. To display the date in a way that makes sense to you, you need to then
go:
<?php
$date = date("m d Y", $lastmonth)
?>
or put whatever variable you want for different time stamps.
