How to Subtract Days to Date in PHP?

 

In this blog, we will understand how to subtract days from dates using PHP. This is used in many projects for filtering and report generation. 

I will explain this using simple examples.

Let's get started,

Subtract Days to Date PHP

<?php

  

    $date = "2023-06-04";

    $newDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date. ' - 3 days'));

  

    echo $newDate;

  

?>

Output:

2023-06-01

<?php

  

    $newDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(' - 3 days'));

  

    echo $newDate;

  

?>

Output:
