[SOLVED] Changing dates in the past...

[Yammyguy]

Hello,  I'm looking for a solution to change a date in the past.

 

Say, for example - I have a date displayed as: YYYY/MM/DD - 2008/10/12

 

What I would like to do is move that date back by one day.  I've tried the simple stuff like exploding it, subtracting the array[2] by one, then imploding it. 

 

That would be fine, but the problem is if it's the first of a new month - then things get sticky.

 

I've tried the mktime() function by writing something like this:

 

mktime(0,0,0,array[1], (array[2] - 1), array[0]); 

 

That returned some pretty funky values - obviously not what I wanted.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? or is this too specific, and I'm going to have to write a whole function that checks for new month, and determines which month it is and therefore applies the appropriate logic for that month?

 

Thanks very much in advance!

$date = "2008/10/12";
$x = strtotime("-1 day", strtotime($date));
print date("Y/m/d", $x);

$date = "2008/10/12";
$x = strtotime("-1 day", strtotime($date));
print date("Y/m/d", $x);

 

 

That's absolutely perfect!!! worked like a charm!  Thank you very much!  ;D
