I want to get last month's date. I wrote this out:
$prevmonth = date('M Y');
Which gives me the current month/year. I can't tell if I should use strtotime
, mktime
. Something to the timestamp? Do I need to add something afterwards to reset so that the date isn't set to last month throughout everything for all timestamps on my site? I'm trying to RTM but it's hard for me to figure this out.
Get Last Day Of The Previous Month:$lastDay = date('t',strtotime('last month')); print_r($lastDay);
php echo 'First Date = ' . date('Y-m-01') . '<br />'; echo 'Last Date = ' . date('Y-m-t') .
The strtotime() function parses an English textual datetime into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT). Note: If the year is specified in a two-digit format, values between 0-69 are mapped to 2000-2069 and values between 70-100 are mapped to 1970-2000.
It's simple to get last month date
echo date("Y-n-j", strtotime("first day of previous month")); echo date("Y-n-j", strtotime("last day of previous month"));
