Create an Array of the Last 30 Days Using PHP

Question

I am trying to create an array starting with today and going back the last 30 days with PHP and I am having trouble. I can estimate but I don’t know a good way of doing it

Answer 1

You can use time to control the days:

for ($i = 0; $i < 30; $i++)
{
    $timestamp = time();
    $tm = 86400 * $i; // 60 * 60 * 24 = 86400 = 1 day in seconds
    $tm = $timestamp - $tm;

    $the_date = date("m/d/Y", $tm);
}

Now, within the for loop you can use the $the_date variable for whatever purposes you might want to. :-)
