Question

i’m not so hot with my php.

i was wondering if you could help me, i’m trying to create an array that contains the last 31 dates. e.g.

$dates = array("2011-03-22", "2011-03-21", "2011-03-20", "2011-03-19", ........... "2011-02-22");

any pointers appreciated 🙂

thanks

Answer 1

Using the DateTime object, its fairly straight forward. (Available from PHP 5.2 onwards).

$dates = array();
$date = new DateTime();
for($i = 0; $i < 31; $i++) {
    $dates[] = $date->format('Y-m-d');
    $date->modify('-1 day');
}
