[rsammy]

i need to find a date 15 dates from today. how do i do this?

 

i have this code:

if (empty($m2)&& empty($d2) && empty ($y2))
{

	$datez="0000-00-00";		

}

and i use this $datez in my query. but how do i make this $datez to reflect 15 days earlier from todays date?

<?php

$calc_date = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")-15,  date("Y"));

$datez=date("Y-m-d",$calc_date);

?>

Or you can use the strtotime() function:

<?php
$datez = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('today -15 days'));
echo $datez;
?>

thanx for ur replies. now i have another question.

 

i am using a pre-determined date - say 10/30/2007 as the value for $datez. how can i get this to reflect to 15 days earlier($datez should now hold a date that is 15 days older than 10/30/2007).

 

help wud be greatly appreciated.

 

thanx again

<?php
$datez = '10/30/2007';
$datez = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($datez . ' -15 days');
echo $datez;
?>
