Date - formatting

[Andrew Banks]

I'm needing to assign the following variable with the following data from
the date. Does anyone have any help they could offer please?

date_day = the current day number I.E 21
date_month = the current month I.E july
date_year = the current year I.E 2003

I also need the following variable for 10 days later

date_day2 =
date_month2 =
date_year2 =

Any help is much appreciated

Hi Andrew,

Alternatively you could use strtotime(), e.g.:

$tenDaysAgo = strtotime("-10 day");
$day10DaysAgo = date("d". $tenDaysAgo);

HTH;

dont know what the first bit is but -

$now=mktime();
$tendayslater=$now+4521252; (this is not a real number but the number of
seconds in 10 days ie 10x24x60x60)

bye
