quick php date() help - GoFuckYourself.com

You'll see what I am trying to go... hopefully lol

$yesterday = date(("F")+(("d")-1)+("Y"));

I am trying to minus 1 from the d, so I get "yesterday". How can I do this? I am probably making it too difficult. :p

$yesterday = date("F d Y",mktime(0,0,0,date("F"),date("d")-1,date("Y")));

My eyes prefer "-86400" to "- 1 day"

And the full line is shorter that way....

JSA Matt · 08-28-2004, 05:33 PM

date("F d Y", strtotime("yesterday"));
date("F d Y", strtotime("-1 day"));

should have plenty of ways to do it lol.. I prefer the mktime method

It's not only shorter but also faster than other solutions, especially than the strtotime solution
