Array of last three months?

[Andrew R]

Hi

 

Is it possible or is there a function that lists the last three months (based on current month) in an array so I can loop though them?

 

Or would I have to do it the long way aka...

 

$montha = strtotime(date("F 1, Y", strtotime("-1 month")));

$monthb = strtotime(date("F 1, Y", strtotime("-2 month")));

 

etc etc and then place in an array?

 

Thanks a million

for ($i=0;$i<=2;$i++)
{
$array[]=date("F 1, Y", strtotime("-$i month"));
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);

 

And the redundant way you are doing it will result in a timestamp.

You could loop through them as teamatomic has suggested, but do you not think (as it's only the last 3 months you need) a better trade off for readability would be to just create the array manually?

 

$last_3_months = array(
    date("F 1, Y", strtotime("- 1 month")),
    date("F 1, Y", strtotime("- 2 months")),
    date("F 1, Y", strtotime("- 3 months"))
);
