mktime and date question

[rxbanditboy1112]

I would like to know if in the following line of code if the line would always give me 4 hours ago. My biggest concern is when it becomes midnight of the next day... Will it still give me 4 hours ago or will it give me the next day then subtract four hours from the hour.

 

$today  = strtotime(mktime(date("G")-4,date("i"),date("s"),date("n"),date("d"),date("Y"));

time() will return the number of seconds, so you can easily subtract 4 hours (in seconds) to get 4 hours ago

 

$today = time() - (4*60*60);

but i need a full date, not only the time. Thanks for the help :-D

what you do wit the timestamp is up to you, you just need the value of X seconds from epoch that is 4 hours from current time

 

i.e

<?php
echo date("y-m-d", time()-(4*60*60));
?>

Should do it for you

also

<?php
echo date("y-m-d", strtotime("-4 hours",time());
?>

should also work as well
