How to get previous month and year relative to today, using strtotime and date?

Question

I need to get previous month and year, relative to current date.

However, see following example.

// Today is 2011-03-30
echo date(\'Y-m-d\', strtotim         


        

Answer 1

if the day itself doesn't matter do this:

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime(date('Y-m')." -1 month"));
