Hey guys...
If..
How can I do the same for 3 days ago (Fri)? I can't seem to figure out how I can say to php, output the 3 letter abbreviation for the day that took place 3 days ago. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

Hey feyd, I'm looking at strtotime() right now and am a little confused. It doesn't seem to show any output for the examples on the manual, but I gather it just takes the current or supplied timestamp and performs adjustments on that based on the first parameter in the function.
I am trying:
Code: Select all
$dayAbbrev = date('D') + strtotime("-1 day");
But it isn't working. Any further hints on where I'm going wrong here? Thanks feyd.

Code: Select all
<?php
echo date('d', strtotime('-3 days'));
?>
