How to find out what the date was 5 days ago?

I’m trying to work out the date 7 days ago from today in this format: yyyy-mm-dd.

7 is an arbitrary number.

Thanks

Answer 1

First calculate the timestamp for x days ago and than create a date with php date() function.

$x = 7; //number of days in the past

$past_stamp = time() - $x*24*60*60;

$past_date = date('Y-m-d', $past_stamp);

Hope it helps.
