note 58395 added to function.date

The examples for getting a date in the past or future is simply not the best way to do it. Especially if you are doing it dynamically. I find the best way to get a date in the past or future is like this: <?php //get timestamp for past/future date I want $pf_time = strtotime("-3 days"); //format the date using the timestamp generated $pf_date = date("Y-m-d", $pf_time); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58395 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58395&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58395&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58395&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58395&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58395&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58395&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58395&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58395&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
