getting 3 months

[Slowie]

Hi Guys hopefully this will be a quick one.

 

how would i go about getting the previous 3 months on the 1st

 

example

 

if its the 15/06/2011 i want the query to pull

 

01/05/2011

01/04/2011

01/03/2011

 

currently i have

 

$lastmonth =  date("m/d/Y", strtotime(date('m') -1 .'/01/'.date('Y').' 00:00:00'));

 

which pulls back the last month on the 1st but incrementing it to

 

$lastmonth =  date("m/d/Y", strtotime(date('m') -2 .'/01/'.date('Y').' 00:00:00'));

 

doesnt bring back the expected result

the date functions is quite smart, you can use stuff like:

 

$date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('- 1 month'));

 

hope this helps

Thank you so much it was alot easier than i thought it would be after reading your post i changed

 

$lastmonth =  date("m/d/Y", strtotime(date('m') -1 .'/01/'.date('Y').' 00:00:00'));

 

to

 

$lastmonth =  date("Y/m/d", strtotime(date('m') .'/01/'.date('Y').' 00:00:00'. '- 1 month'));

 

worked perfectly
