[SOLVED] php date

[c172cpt]

im having a problem ive looked around and cant figure it out

i have a 95 line switch statement to compleate the task but i want to simplify the code

 

i want to take the current date ("XX") minus 10 days regardless of the month or year and get a new date

ex: $past = $today - 10;

 

my issue lies when $past is negitive how can i solve this

any ideas

if you don't need full gregorian calendar support you can just use the timestamp

 

$now = mktime();

 

$then = $now - (60*60*24*10);

 

then you can use that timstamp in the date function...

 

I am intrigued by you massive switch statement - sounds like the ideal candidate for some OOP with a splash of polymorphism to me...
