Hi folks,
My goal was to create a dynamic date related list as follows:
- take the current date (3/12/2009)
- create a new date from it which would be the *1st* of that month -
(3/1/2009)
- then create a list that shows the current and previous 11 months like:
03/1/09
02/1/09
01/1/09
12/1/08
11/1/08 etc...
--- so I did this (not fancy but was working)
$nowts = strtotime(date("m")."/1/".date("y"));
$m01 = date('m',$nowts-(0))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(0));
$m02 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*30))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*30));
$m03 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*60))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*60));
$m04 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*90))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*90));
$m05 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*120))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*120));
$m06 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*150))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*150));
$m07 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*180))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*180));
$m08 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*210))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*210));
$m09 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*240))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*240));
$m10 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*270))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*270));
$m11 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*300))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*300));
$m12 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*330))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*330));
PROBLEM: all was fine for the last few months but several days back the 1st
few months were wrong - like this...
03/1/09
02/1/09
12/1/08 * wrong
12/1/08
11/1/08 etc...
* I think the math went wrong because FEB had 28 days - not 30 (not sure why
just 1 month JANUARY was wrong...)
I temporarily fixed it with less than 30 day jumps like:
$m01 = date('m',$nowts-(0))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(0));
$m02 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*28))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*28));
$m03 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*58))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*58));
$m04 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*88))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*88));
$m05 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*118))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*118));
$m06 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*150))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*150));
$m07 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*180))."/1/".date('y',$nowts-(86400*180));
Q: Any ideas how to fix this issue? (please try to keep it simple - 'cause I
ain't no math wiz either)
