quick php date help..

[xxweekxx]

<?php
echo date("m/d/y");
?>

that will echo current month/day/yr

how do i make it echo YESTERDAYs info

so instead of 04/06/10

it'l be 04/05/10

[ottopottomouse]

$yesterday=date("m/d/y", time()-86400);

carry on multiplying the seconds to get back more days

[xxweekxx]

so it'll be

<?php
$yesterday=date("m/d/y", time()-86400);
?>

or

<?php
echo date("m/d/y",mktime(0,0,0,0,-1,0));
?>

that tells it to generate a date using todays date -1 day, so that would be yesterday.
change -1 to -7 and it will be one week ago and so on and so forth...

Take a look at strtotime also, if you prefer. You can do a lot with it like; +1 day, -1 day, last monday, next tuesday, etc...

$yesterday = date('m/d/y', strtotime('-1 day'));
