    quick php date() help

    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

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

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

                                              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
