How can I print an hour ago in PHP using Date?

$date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$time(-1, now);
$result=$date.$time;

So If I wanted to say "John visited last "

Would print

John visited last 20th Feb 2012, 17.26

$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time() - 3600);

time() -> Current timestamp

Time minus 3600 seconds, is the time 1 hour ago. To get the date formatted, you can look here for the options: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Alternatively you could use the following format:

$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('-1 hour'));

Though using that method can be a little clunky if you want to remove more specific units of time (Such as one day and 3 hours).

Thats if I've understood what you want to do correctly that is.

I suppose you would be fetching date and time from mysql and the best thing to do is using mysql's DATE_FORMAT function and work out.

Other wise in simple php you could do it like this $date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $time -3600);

Better option is to use strtotime like this one $date=date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('-1 hour'));

And get the work done.

Mmm, search the manual the function I used. You are missing something about PHP date/time functions...

// Get the date string for time() - 3600, that is
// the current time minus 3600 seconds (= 1 hour)
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time() - 3600);

$result = $date;

More Detail

To print time an hour ago, you need to subtract -1 hour. Use the strtotime() method and set the subtraction value in it i.e. -1 for 1 hour ago time, -2 for 2 hour ago time, etc.

Let’s say the current time is 

18:42:22

Example

The PHP code is as follows

 Live Demo

Output

This will produce the following output

One hour ago, the date = 2020-09-26 17:42:22
