Hi people!

 

I would like to get after the one I give my website.

 

$date = '19012009';

 

newdate must be a day after $date or before $date

//must be like the one's below, just need the math.

$date_before = '18012009';

$date_after = '20012009';

 

Please help, and thanks.

I had my fair share of trouble with the php date stuff. Try this - it might help you in the right direction:

//get the current time, or whatever time you're workign with as timestamp
$date = time();

//Get tomorrow's date
$day_after = strtotime("tomorrow",$date);
//get yesterday's date
$day_previous = strtotime("yesterday",$date);

//then use strftime to format the date as you want it.
$day_after_formatted = strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $day_after);
$day_previous_formatted = strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $day_previous);
