PHP: Date 1 week ago

You can just use the function strtotime() and pass "-7 days" or "-1 week" to go back seven days respectively one week into the past:

$t = strtotime("-7 days");
echo date("d.m.Y", $t);

In this example, we are first storing the timestamp within the variable $t and then we are displaying the date in the format day.month.year using PHP's date() function.

$t = strtotime("-1 week");
echo date("d.m.Y", $t);

When using "-1 week" instead of "-7 days" the result is the same.
