    You can try

    $temp_timestamp = strtotime("2011-04-24T05:59:49.000Z");
    $seven_hours_ago = strtotime("-7 hour", $temp_timestamp);

    echo Date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z", $seven_hours_ago);

    This might work (not tested):

    
$ts = strtotime("2011-04-24T05:59:49.000Z");
echo sprintf(
    "The time was %s; 7 hours ago it was %s",
    gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", $ts),
    gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", $ts - 7 * 60 * 60)
);

    Thanks littlejohn199 and ap2010 for your response. I have tested littlejohn199's code and it's working fine. Rep to you both.
