Re: Date Help Needed

I am trying to construct a function where I feed it a number such as "x" it returns the date "x" days ago.

<?php $format = 'l dS of F Y h:i:s A'; /** Check that "now" relative time is ok, instead of midnight */ echo date($format, strtotime("now")) . "\n"; /** If now resolves correctly, then this should work */ $x = strtotime("-1 days"); echo date($format, $x); ?>

I tried checking out several resources that give you the difference between two dates, but not exactly what I was looking for. I was just hoping someone had a little algorithm in their bag of tricks. Thanks, Ron
