Well here is the date/time, though what would be a good way of getting the time exactly five minutes ago?
Code: Select all
<?php
$date_current = date('o-m-d H:i:s');
echo $date_current;
echo '<div>-5 minutes</div>';
?>

Code: Select all
$date_past = date('o-m-d H:i:s',time() - 5 * 60);

VladSun, that's cool though I presume it takes additional resources to convert it to something along the lines of what pytrin posted?

That's obvious

But ... next time you ask how to get e.g. "the second tuesday of a given month and year" I'll use strtotime again:
Code: Select all
date("Y-m-d", strtotime("second tuesday", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 0, $year)));
