Subtract 1 day with PHP

Question

I\'m trying to take a date object that\'s coming out of my Drupal CMS, subtract one day and print out both dates. Here\'s what I have

$date_raw = $messageno         


        

Answer 1

Not sure why your current code isn't working but if you don't specifically need a date object this will work:

$first_date = strtotime($date_raw);
$second_date = strtotime('-1 day', $first_date);

print 'First Date ' . date('Y-m-d', $first_date);
print 'Next Date ' . date('Y-m-d', $second_date);
