Question

How could I added the option to show the statistics for last month.

PHP

public function chart() {
    $this->load->language('common/home');

    $data = array();

    $data['order'] = array();
    $data['customer'] = array();
    $data['xaxis'] = array();

    $data['order']['label'] = $this->language->get('text_order');
    $data['customer']['label'] = $this->language->get('text_customer');

    if (isset($this->request->get['range'])) {
        $range = $this->request->get['range'];
    } else {
        $range = 'month';
    }

    switch ($range) {
        case 'day':
            for ($i = 0; $i < 24; $i++) {
                $query = $this->db->query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM `" . DB_PREFIX . "order` WHERE order_status_id > '0' AND (DATE(date_added) = DATE(NOW()) AND HOUR(date_added) = '" . (int)$i . "') GROUP BY HOUR(date_added) ORDER BY date_added ASC");

                if ($query->num_rows) {

Answer 1

Create a new HTML option

    <option value="last_month">Last Month</option>

Then add in a new switch case for your last_month option. You can do this by copying the month case from the case ‘month’ line to the break;.

In the for loop change date(‘t’) to:

    date('t', strtotime(date('Y-m', strtotime('-1 month')).'-01'))

This will allow you to get last months number of days, then the last bit you should have to change will be the $date var. in a similar way to above:

    $date = date('Y-m', strtotime('-1 month')).'-'.$i;

This should allow you to see all your stats for the previous month.
