Hi there,

I am trying to create a date which is 25 years back from today. The purpose of this is to be able to query a mysql database "date" field for columns smaller than this date.

I tried this:
$years = 25;
$start_from = date("Y-m-d",strtotime("- ".$years." year"));

Somehow it always ads the years instead of subtracting.

Has anybody an idea on how to do that?

Thank you in advance for any help,

Merlin

mktime ( date ( "G" ), date ( "i" ), date ( "s" ), date( "n" ), date ( "j" ), date ( "Y" ) - 25 );
