I'm not using PHP anymore, but I think it was possible directly in 1 Line. Something like $date = date("Y-m-d");

@GC97 its actually $date = date('Ymd');
And you could parse the other date with mktime...

I think this strongly suggests someone who has copied and pasted a "date" function call from somewhere and has no idea what it does. There's a lack of logic there which is very, very scary to me.

@CrankyOldDev I know, right! And these guys made a whole application that was used for almost 10 years... Who knows what else is in there.
