How do I get the 1-day previous date of a dd/mm/yyyy string in PHP?

I have a string, for example:

$date = "01/04/2022";

I want to get the previous day’s date in dd/mm/yyyy format (i.e., 31/03/2022). How do I proceed?

>Solution :

You can use Datetime Class of PHP to modify the date.

Ex :

$date = "01/04/2022";
$dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $date);
$dateTime->modify('-1 day');
$previousDate = $dateTime->format('d/m/Y');
echo $previousDate;

Result:

31/03/2022
