strtotime related question

Hai folks,

strtotime($dt . '- 60 days'));

PHP:

in the above it has two parameters or 1?
bit confused

 

count the brackets . also helps to put spaces into things.
try this one

strtotime($dt . ' - 60 days');

PHP:

 

Hai dtephn,
one extra bracket sorry
yes, with and without space both method works!

 

strtotime('-60 days')

PHP:

. should be ok for you. check this http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php.

 

Hai Mate,
actually the $dt is not really the current date. its like 2012/10/26

 

You would do: strtotime('-60 days', strtotime($dt));

http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

The second parameter is a timestamp. Also, 2012/10/26 is a poor data format for a date because it is ambiguous between the 1st and the 12th of any month.

 

i am confused now which one to use. because both methods works

but manual says its ok

Four digit year, month and day with slashes YY "/" mm "/" dd "2008/6/30", "1978/12/22"
