Why does <b>$LastMonth = date(&quot;m&quot;)-1;</b> give me <b>6</b> instead of <b>06</b> ?<br />
<br />
After all, this <b>$ThisMonth = &nbsp;date(&quot;m&quot;);</b> gives me <b>07</b><br />
<br />
How can I get the two digit month for $LastMonth?<br />
Thanks<br />

Why does $LastMonth = date("m")-1; give me 6 instead of 06 ?

After all, this $ThisMonth =  date("m"); gives me 07

How can I get the two digit month for $LastMonth?
Thanks

PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
