date_sub is not working

As my server is not upgreaded to php 5.3 (it is in PHP Version 5.2.11) date_sub is not working.

here is the code: $date = date_create(date('Y-m-d')); date_sub($date, date_interval_create_from_date_string('60 days')); $date1= date_format($date, 'Y-m-开发者_JS百科d');

but its ok in my localhost(which is in 5.3), but not in server(5.2.11).

Can you please tell me how can i make this date subtraction working on 5.2.11 ?

Like the docs say, use DateTime::modify().

---

$date1= date('Y-m-d', strtotime("-60 days"));

it works :)

For adding and subracting days

$newdate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("-10 days"));
echo $newdate;

sub 10 days

$newdate1 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+10 days"));
echo $newdate1;

add 10 days

For adding and subracting months

$newmonth = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("-5 months"));
echo $newmonth;

sub 10 months

$newmonth1 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+5 months"));
echo $newmonth1;

add 10 months

As the manual page says, this function works only for the PHP version >= 5.3.0.
So, you've found right solution yourself

for EX $da=2014-04-01

if u want to minus 6 months use this..

$date = strtotime($da .' -6 months');
$final=date('Y-m-d', $date);

echo $final;
