Date minus 1 month

[NLCJ]

Hello,

I've been struggling for days on this problem now. And I'm getting frustrated!  I know that the answer is simple, and I've done it before but I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.

What do I want?

Well, I get a date from the database in this format: YYYY-MM-DD. I first want to distract one month from that and then set in into this form: YYYY, MM, DD. I've got this but it's not working (I've tried a lot different values).

$transformdate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 month", $d_datevalue)); 
$startpoint = str_replace("-", ", ", $transformdate);

 

Thanks,

NLCJ

$myDate = explode('-', $row['date'] );
$monthLess = date( "Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0 ,$myDate[1] - 1 ,$myDate[2],$myDate[0]) );

 

Something like that

$startpoint = date("Y, m, d", strtotime("$d_datevalue -1 month");

Thanks a lot! (Both of you)
