I'm trying to subtract 1 month from a date.
$today = date('m-Y');
This gives: 08-2016
How can I subtract a month to get 07-2016?
<?php
echo $newdate = date("m-Y", strtotime("-1 months"));
output
07-2016
Warning! The above-mentioned examples won't work if call them at the end of a month.
<?php
$now = mktime(0, 0, 0, 10, 31, 2017);
echo date("m-Y", $now)."\n";
echo date("m-Y", strtotime("-1 months", $now))."\n";
will output:
10-2017
10-2017
The following example will produce the same result:
$date = new DateTime('2017-10-31 00:00:00');
echo $date->format('m-Y')."\n";
$date->modify('-1 month');
echo $date->format('m-Y')."\n";
Plenty of ways how to solve the issue can be found in another thread: PHP DateTime::modify adding and subtracting months
Try this,
$today = date('m-Y');
$newdate = date('m-Y', strtotime('-1 months', strtotime($today)));
echo $newdate;
Depending on your PHP version you can use DateTime object (introduced in PHP 5.2 if I remember correctly):
<?php
$today = new DateTime(); // This will create a DateTime object with the current date
$today->modify('-1 month');
You can pass another date to the constructor, it does not have to be the current date. More information: http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.modify.php
I used this to prevent the "last days of month"-error. I just use a second strtotime() to set the date to the first day of the month:
<?php
echo $newdate = date("m-Y", strtotime("-1 months", strtotime(date("Y-m")."-01")));
if(date("d") > 28){
$date = date("Y-m", strtotime("-".$loop." months -2 Day"));
} else {
$date = date("Y-m", strtotime("-".$loop." months"));
}
$lastMonth = date('Y-m', strtotime('-1 MONTH'));
First change the date format m-Y to Y-m
$date = $_POST('date'); // Post month
or
$date = date('m-Y'); // currrent month
$date_txt = date_create_from_format('m-Y', $date);
$change_format = date_format($date_txt, 'Y-m');
This code minus 1 month to the given date
$final_date = new DateTime($change_format);
$final_date->modify('-1 month');
$output = $final_date->format('m-Y');
Try this,
$effectiveDate = date('2018-01'); <br>
echo 'Date'.$effectiveDate;<br>
$effectiveDate = date('m-y', strtotime($effectiveDate.'+-1 months'));<br>
echo 'Date'.$effectiveDate;
$currentMonth = date('m', time());
$currentDay = date('d',time());
$currentYear = date('Y',time());
$lastMonth = $currentMonth -1;
$one_month_ago=mkdate(0,0,0,$one_month_ago,$currentDay,$currentYear);
This could be rewritten more elegantly, but it works for me
I realize this is an old post, but I've been solving the same issue, and here is what I came up with to account for all the variability. This function is just trying to get relative dates, so same day of prior month, or last day of month if you are on the last day, regardless of exactly how many days a month has. So goal is given '2010-03-31' and subtract a month, we should output '2010-02-28'.
private function subtractRelativeMonth(DateTime $incomingDate): DateTime
{
$year = $incomingDate->format('Y');
$month = $incomingDate->format('m');
$day = $incomingDate->format('d');
$daysInOldMonth = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);
if ($month == 1) { //It's January, so we have to go back to December of prior year
$month = 12;
$year--;
} else {
$month--;
}
$daysInNewMonth = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);
if ($day > $daysInNewMonth && $month == 2) { //New month is Feb
$day = $daysInNewMonth;
}
if ($day > 29 && $daysInOldMonth > $daysInNewMonth) {
$day = $daysInNewMonth;
}
$adjustedDate = new \DateTime($year . '-' . $month . '-' . $day);
return $adjustedDate;
}
I'm coding a script where I require to save the current date, and the date 1 month from that date. I am pretty sure that the time() variable works, but I am not sure how to +1 month onto that?
Any ideas, suggestions. Cheers!
Try this
$today = date("Y-m-d");
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 month', $today));
or use DateTime()
$dt1 = new DateTime();
$today = $dt1->format("Y-m-d");
$dt2 = new DateTime("+1 month");
$date = $dt2->format("Y-m-d");
$time = strtotime("2010-12-11");
$final = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 month", $time));
(OR)
strtotime( "+1 month", strtotime( $time ) );
this returns a timestamp that can be used with the date function
Use this:
Current Date:
echo "Today is " . date("Y/m/d");
1 Month to the Current Date:
$time = strtotime(date("Y/m/d"));
$final = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 month", $time));
<?php
$current_time = date("Y-M-d h:i:s",time()); // Getting Current Date & Time
print $current_time; // Current Date & Time Printing for display purpose
$future_timestamp = strtotime("+1 month"); // Getting timestamp of 1 month from now
$final_future = date("Y-M-d h:i:s",+$future_timestamp); // Getting Future Date & Time of 1 month from now
print $final_future; // Printing Future time for display purpose
?>
shorter : $today=date("Y-m-d"); $date=
This one liner worked for me:
$monthFromToday = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 month", strtotime(date("Y/m/d"))));
The given answers may not give you the results you might expect or desire.
Consider:
$today = "29Jan2018";
$nextMonth = date('dMY', strtotime('+1 month', (strtotime($today))));
echo $today // yields 29Jan2018
echo $nextMonth // yields 01Mar2018
$today = date("Y-m-d");
$enddate = date('Y-m-01',strtotime($today. ' + 1 months'));
You could also consider using the Carbon package.
The solution would look like this:
use Carbon\Carbon
$now = Carbon::now;
$now->addMonth();

I'm trying to get this weekend in php.
I get the current date by code :
$start_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time());
How I can get the current weekend depend on the curent date? Thank you!
PHP strtotime function is magic, most of people don't know but you can do a lot of things with this function.
$start_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('next Saturday'));
Use strtotime()
$sat = strtotime('saturday');
$start_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('Saturday'));
My definition of "weekend" is next Friday, end of office hours up to end of Sunday.
In PHP, this would be
$weekend = new DatePeriod(
new DateTime('next Friday 18:00'),
DateInterval::createFromDateString('+1 hour'),
new DateTime('next Friday +2 day 23:59'));
foreach($weekend as $hours) {
echo $hours->format( "l Y-m-d H:i:s\n" );
}
Try this:
<?php
$time = mktime();
$found = false;
while(!$found) {
$d = date('N', $time);
if($d == 6 || $d == 7) {
$found = true;
$weekend = date('d/m/Y G:i:s', $time);
}
$time += 86400;
}
echo("Weekend begins on: $weekend");
?>
First weekend calculation
if(date('w')==6){// Today is Saturday | Bugün Cumartesi ise
$wknd=date("Y-md-").'-'.date("Y-m-d", strtotime('next Sunday'));
}if(date('w')==0){// Today is Sunday | Bugün Pazar ise
$wknd=date("Y-m-d");
}else{ // On weekdays | Hafta içi ise
$wknd=date("Y-m-d", strtotime('next Saturday')).'-'.date("Ymd", strtotime('next Sunday'));
}
echo $wknd;
I'm trying to use PHP to create a script that searches all the days between now and one year's time and lists all the dates for Fridays and Saturdays. I was trying to use PHP's date() and mktime() functions but can't think of a way of doing this. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Ben
Here's how to do it in a cool way, with special thanks to strtotime's relative formats.
$friday = strtotime('Next Friday', time());
$saturday = strtotime('Next Saturday', time());
$friday = strtotime('+1 Week', $friday);
$saturday = strtotime('+1 Week', $saturday);
Of course you should tweak it to do exactly what you want, but that's beside the point I was trying to make.
Also note that strtotime will give you timestamps. To find out the date use:
date('Y-m-d', $friday)
Another thing to know is that Next <dayofweek> will exclude your current day from the search, so if you also want to include the current day you can do it like this:
$friday = strtotime('Next Friday', strtotime('-1 Day', time()));
And here's a full working script that does exactly what you wanted.
<?php
// prevent multiple calls by retrieving time once //
$now = time();
$aYearLater = strtotime('+1 Year', $now);
// fill this with dates //
$allDates = Array();
// init with next friday and saturday //
$friday = strtotime('Next Friday', strtotime('-1 Day', $now));
$saturday = strtotime('Next Saturday', strtotime('-1 Day', $now));
// keep adding days untill a year has passed //
while(1){
if($friday > $aYearLater)
break 1;
$allDates[] = date('Y-m-d', $friday);
if($saturday > $aYearLater)
break 1;
$allDates[] = date('Y-m-d', $saturday);
$friday = strtotime('+1 Week', $friday);
$saturday = strtotime('+1 Week', $saturday);
}
//XXX: debug
var_dump($allDates);
?>
Good luck, Alin
With DateTime objects:
define('FRIDAY', 5);
define('SATURDAY', 6);
$from = new DateTimeImmutable();
$to = new DateTimeImmutable('+1 year');
for ($date = $from; $date < $to; $date->modify('+1 day')) {
switch ($date->format('w')) {
case FRIDAY:
case SATURDAY:
echo $date->format('r') . PHP_EOL;
}
}
Before PHP/5.5.0 you had to use regular DateTime class and clone it:
$from = new DateTime();
$to = new DateTime('+1 year');
for ($date = clone $from; $date < $to; $date->modify('+1 day')) {
switch ($date->format('w')) {
case FRIDAY:
case SATURDAY:
echo $date->format('r') . PHP_EOL;
}
}
$secondsperday=86400;
$firstdayofyear=mktime(12,0,0,1,1,2010);
$lastdayofyear=mktime(12,0,0,12,31,2010);
$theday = $firstdayofyear;
for($theday=$firstdayofyear; $theday<=$lastdayofyear; $theday+=$secondsperday) {
$dayinfo=getdate($theday);
if($dayinfo['wday']==5 or $dayinfo['wday']==6) {
print $dayinfo['weekday'].' '.date('Y-m-d',$theday)."<br />";
}
}
$number_of_days_from_now = 365;
$now = time();
$arr_days = array();
$i = 0;
while($i <> $number_of_days_from_now){
$str_stamp = "- $i day";
$arr_days[] = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($str_stamp,$now));
$i ++;
}
var_dump($arr_days);
I did something similar to the accepted answer that didn't suited to me
Given a date MM-dd-yyyy format, can someone help me get the first day of the week?
Here is what I am using...
$day = date('w');
$week_start = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('-'.$day.' days'));
$week_end = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('+'.(6-$day).' days'));
$day contains a number from 0 to 6 representing the day of the week (Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, etc.).
$week_start contains the date for Sunday of the current week as mm-dd-yyyy.
$week_end contains the date for the Saturday of the current week as mm-dd-yyyy.
Very simple to use strtotime function:
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime('monday this week')), "\n";
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday this week')), "\n";
It differs a bit across PHP versions:

Relative descriptions like this week have their own context. The following shows the output for this week monday and sunday when it's a monday or a sunday:
$date = '2015-03-16'; // monday
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime('monday this week', strtotime($date))), "\n";
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday this week', strtotime($date))), "\n";
$date = '2015-03-22'; // sunday
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime('monday this week', strtotime($date))), "\n";
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday this week', strtotime($date))), "\n";

strtotime('this week', time());
Replace time(). Next sunday/last monday methods won't work when the current day is sunday/monday.
Keep it simple :
<?php
$dateTime = new \DateTime('2020-04-01');
$monday = clone $dateTime->modify(('Sunday' == $dateTime->format('l')) ? 'Monday last week' : 'Monday this week');
$sunday = clone $dateTime->modify('Sunday this week');
?>
Source : PHP manual
NB: as some user commented the $dateTime value will be modified.
$givenday = date("w", mktime(0, 0, 0, MM, dd, yyyy));
This gives you the day of the week of the given date itself where 0 = Sunday and 6 = Saturday. From there you can simply calculate backwards to the day you want.
This question needs a good DateTime answer:-
function firstDayOfWeek($date)
{
$day = DateTime::createFromFormat('m-d-Y', $date);
$day->setISODate((int)$day->format('o'), (int)$day->format('W'), 1);
return $day->format('m-d-Y');
}
var_dump(firstDayOfWeek('06-13-2013'));
Output:-
string '06-10-2013' (length=10)
This will deal with year boundaries and leap years.
EDIT: the below link is no longer running on the version of PHP stated. It is running on PHP 5.6 which improves the reliability of strtotime, but isn't perfect! The results in the table are live results from PHP 5.6.
For what it's worth, here is a breakdown of the wonky behavior of strtotime when determining a consistent frame of reference:
http://gamereplays.org/reference/strtotime.php
Basically only these strings will reliably give you the same date, no matter what day of the week you're currently on when you call them:
strtotime("next monday");
strtotime("this sunday");
strtotime("last sunday");
Assuming Monday as the first day of the week, this works:
echo date("M-d-y", strtotime('last monday', strtotime('next week', time())));
The following code should work with any custom date, just uses the desired date format.
$custom_date = strtotime( date('d-m-Y', strtotime('31-07-2012')) );
$week_start = date('d-m-Y', strtotime('this week last monday', $custom_date));
$week_end = date('d-m-Y', strtotime('this week next sunday', $custom_date));
echo '<br>Start: '. $week_start;
echo '<br>End: '. $week_end;
I tested the code with PHP 5.2.17 Results:
Start: 30-07-2012
End: 05-08-2012
How about this?
$first_day_of_week = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('Last Monday', time()));
$last_day_of_week = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('Next Sunday', time()));
This is what I am using to get the first and last day of the week from any date.
In this case, monday is the first day of the week...
$date = date('Y-m-d') // you can put any date you want
$nbDay = date('N', strtotime($date));
$monday = new DateTime($date);
$sunday = new DateTime($date);
$monday->modify('-'.($nbDay-1).' days');
$sunday->modify('+'.(7-$nbDay).' days');
Here I am considering Sunday as first & Saturday as last day of the week.
$m = strtotime('06-08-2012');
$today = date('l', $m);
$custom_date = strtotime( date('d-m-Y', $m) );
if ($today == 'Sunday') {
$week_start = date("d-m-Y", $m);
} else {
$week_start = date('d-m-Y', strtotime('this week last sunday', $custom_date));
}
if ($today == 'Saturday') {
$week_end = date("d-m-Y", $m);
} else {
$week_end = date('d-m-Y', strtotime('this week next saturday', $custom_date));
}
echo '<br>Start: '. $week_start;
echo '<br>End: '. $week_end;
Output :
Start: 05-08-2012
End: 11-08-2012
How about this?
$day_of_week = date('N', strtotime($string_date));
$week_first_day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($string_date . " - " . ($day_of_week - 1) . " days"));
$week_last_day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($string_date . " + " . (7 - $day_of_week) . " days"));
Just use date($format, strtotime($date,' LAST SUNDAY + 1 DAY'));
Try this:
function week_start_date($wk_num, $yr, $first = 1, $format = 'F d, Y')
{
$wk_ts = strtotime('+' . $wk_num . ' weeks', strtotime($yr . '0101'));
$mon_ts = strtotime('-' . date('w', $wk_ts) + $first . ' days', $wk_ts);
return date($format, $mon_ts);
}
$sStartDate = week_start_date($week_number, $year);
$sEndDate = date('F d, Y', strtotime('+6 days', strtotime($sStartDate)));
(from this forum thread)
This is the shortest and most readable solution I found:
<?php
$weekstart = strtotime('monday this week');
$weekstop = strtotime('sunday this week 23:59:59');
//echo date('d.m.Y H:i:s', $weekstart) .' - '. date('d.m.Y H:i:s', $weekstop);
?>
strtotime is faster than new DateTime()->getTimestamp().
$monday = date('d-m-Y',strtotime('last monday',strtotime('next monday',strtotime($date))));
You have to get next monday first then get the 'last monday' of next monday. So if the given date is monday it will return the same date not last week monday.
$string_date = '2019-07-31';
echo $day_of_week = date('N', strtotime($string_date));
echo $week_first_day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($string_date . " - " . ($day_of_week - 1) . " days"));
echo $week_last_day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($string_date . " + " . (7 - $day_of_week) . " days"));
Given PHP version pre 5.3 following function gives you a first day of the week of given date (in this case - Sunday, 2013-02-03):
<?php
function startOfWeek($aDate){
$d=strtotime($aDate);
return strtotime(date('Y-m-d',$d).' - '.date("w",$d).' days');
}
echo(date('Y-m-d',startOfWeek("2013-02-07")).'
');
?>
$today_day = date('D'); //Or add your own date
$start_of_week = date('Ymd');
$end_of_week = date('Ymd');
if($today_day != "Mon")
$start_of_week = date('Ymd', strtotime("last monday"));
if($today_day != "Sun")
$end_of_week = date('Ymd', strtotime("next sunday"));
If you want Monday as the start of your week, do this:
$date = '2015-10-12';
$day = date('N', strtotime($date));
$week_start = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-'.($day-1).' days', strtotime($date)));
$week_end = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+'.(7-$day).' days', strtotime($date)));
A smart way of doing this is to let PHP handle timezone differences and Daylight Savings Time (DST). Let me show you how to do this.
This function will generate all days from Monday until Friday, inclusive (handy for generating work week days):
class DateTimeUtilities {
public static function getPeriodFromMondayUntilFriday($offset = 'now') {
$now = new \DateTimeImmutable($offset, new \DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$today = $now->setTime(0, 0, 1);
$daysFromMonday = $today->format('N') - 1;
$monday = $today->sub(new \DateInterval(sprintf('P%dD', $daysFromMonday)));
$saturday = $monday->add(new \DateInterval('P5D'));
return new \DatePeriod($monday, new \DateInterval('P1D'), $saturday);
}
}
foreach (DateTimeUtilities::getPeriodFromMondayUntilFriday() as $day) {
print $day->format('c');
print PHP_EOL;
}
This will return datetimes Monday-Friday for current week. To do the same for an arbitrary date, pass a date as a parameter to DateTimeUtilities ::getPeriodFromMondayUntilFriday, thus:
foreach (DateTimeUtilities::getPeriodFromMondayUntilFriday('2017-01-02T15:05:21+00:00') as $day) {
print $day->format('c');
print PHP_EOL;
}
//prints
//2017-01-02T00:00:01+00:00
//2017-01-03T00:00:01+00:00
//2017-01-04T00:00:01+00:00
//2017-01-05T00:00:01+00:00
//2017-01-06T00:00:01+00:00
Only interested in Monday, as the OP asked?
$monday = DateTimeUtilities::getPeriodFromMondayUntilFriday('2017-01-02T15:05:21+00:00')->getStartDate()->format('c');
print $monday;
// prints
//2017-01-02T00:00:01+00:00
You parse the date using strptime() and use date() on the result:
date('N', strptime('%m-%d-%g', $dateString));
<?php
/* PHP 5.3.0 */
date_default_timezone_set('America/Denver'); //Set apprpriate timezone
$start_date = strtotime('2009-12-15'); //Set start date
//Today's date if $start_date is a Sunday, otherwise date of previous Sunday
$today_or_previous_sunday = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m', $start_date), date('d', $start_date), date('Y', $start_date)) - ((date("w", $start_date) ==0) ? 0 : (86400 * date("w", $start_date)));
//prints 12-13-2009 (month-day-year)
echo date('m-d-Y', $today_or_previous_sunday);
?>
(Note: MM, dd and yyyy in the Question are not standard php date format syntax - I can't be sure what is meant, so I set the $start_date with ISO year-month-day)
I've come against this question a few times and always surprised the date functions don't make this easier or clearer. Here's my solution for PHP5 that uses the DateTime class:
/**
* #param DateTime $date A given date
* #param int $firstDay 0-6, Sun-Sat respectively
* #return DateTime
*/
function getFirstDayOfWeek(DateTime $date, $firstDay = 0) {
$offset = 7 - $firstDay;
$ret = clone $date;
$ret->modify(-(($date->format('w') + $offset) % 7) . 'days');
return $ret;
}
Necessary to clone to avoid altering the original date.
Another way to do it....
$year = '2014';
$month = '02';
$day = '26';
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $year . '-' . $month . '-' . $day . '00:00:00');
$day = date('w', $date->getTimestamp());
// 0=Sunday 6=Saturday
if($day!=0){
$newdate = $date->getTimestamp() - $day * 86400; //86400 seconds in a day
// Look for DST change
if($old = date('I', $date->getTimestamp()) != $new = date('I', $newdate)){
if($old == 0){
$newdate -= 3600; //3600 seconds in an hour
} else {
$newdate += 3600;
}
}
$date->setTimestamp($newdate);
}
echo $date->format('D Y-m-d H:i:s');
The easiest way to get first day(Monday) of current week is:
strtotime("next Monday") - 604800;
where 604800 - is count of seconds in 1 week(60*60*24*7).
This code get next Monday and decrease it for 1 week. This code will work well in any day of week. Even if today is Monday.
I found this quite frustrating given that my timezone is Australian and that strtotime() hates UK dates.
If the current day is a Sunday, then strtotime("monday this week") will return the day after.
To overcome this:
Caution: This is only valid for Australian/UK dates
$startOfWeek = (date('l') == 'Monday') ? date('d/m/Y 00:00') : date('d/m/Y', strtotime("last monday 00:00"));
$endOfWeek = (date('l') == 'Sunday') ? date('d/m/Y 23:59:59') : date('d/m/Y', strtotime("sunday 23:59:59"));
Here's a one liner for the first day of last week, and the last day of last week as a DateTime object.
$firstDay = (new \DateTime())->modify(sprintf('-%d day', date('w') + 7))
->setTime(0, 0, 0);
$lastDay = (new \DateTime())->modify(sprintf('-%d day', date('w') + 1))
->setTime(23, 59, 59);
Just to note that timestamp math can also be a solution. If you have in mind that 01.jan 1970 was a Thursday, then start of a week for any given date can be calculated with:
function weekStart($dts)
{ $res = $dts - ($dts+date('Z',$dts)+259200)%604800;
return $res + 3600*(date('I',$dts)-date('I',$res));
}
It is predictable for any timestamp and php version, using date-func ('Z', 'I') only for timezone and daylight-saving offsets. And it produces same results as:
strtotime(date('Y-m-d', $dts).' - '.(date('N', $dts)-1.' days');
and with (the best and the most elegant) mentioned:
strtotime('monday this week', $dts);
