Is the best way to calculate last month (date)?

[Tim Mousel]

Hi,

Is the best way to achieve this?

 
$LastMonth = date("F-Y", date("U") - date("t")*24*60*60 );
 
echo "$LastMonth";

strtotime("Last month");

will give you a nice unix timestamp which you can then put into date to give you a value.
