[SOLVED] making a date from strtotime

[shadiadiph]

how do i make strtotime number back into a date Y-m-d?

 

i have tried this but it doesn't work?

 

i am tring to make the date that is 3 days before now to use in an sql statement but can't seem to get it right. 259200 is the right amount of seconds problem is with the mktime

 

$today = date('Y-m-d');
$todayintime = strtotime($today);
$wantedlog = ($todayintime - 259200);
$newtime = strftime("%Y-%m-%d",mktime(0,0,0,$wantedlog));
print $newtime;

One day is 86400 so 86400*3=259200

 

$now=time();
$wanted=$now-259200;
echo 'Now: '.date('d-M-Y H:i:s',$now).'<br />';
echo 'Now: '.date('d-M-Y H:i:s',$wanted);

For future reference time() is measured in seconds.

 

60=1 minute

3600=1 hour

608800=1 week
