php time and "date"

[tomjones]

Hi,
I have been experimenting with date and getdate. I would like to have a variable whose value is the current date, minus one hour. Could someone provide some insight into how to achieve this.

Thanks.

Something like this:
[code=php:0]echo date("h:m:s", time()-3600);[/code]

time returns a unix timestamp, so take 3,600 secounds from the timestamp will take 1hour of the current time.

Look at the strtotime() function http://www.php.net/strtotime

[code]<?php $x = date('Y-m-d G:i',strtotime('-1 hour')); ?>[/code]
