Taking an hour off a date string

[mattspriggs28]

Hi,

 

I am creating a date string using the following:

 

$curDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

 

However, what I want to do is take one hour off this so that $curDate now becomes the current date and time minus one hour.

 

Thanks for your help.

There are examples of this in the manual. date.

I prefer strtotime() over mktime():

 

$curDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("-1 hour"));
