Need to calculate a specific time from 7 minutes ago? Here's how to implement this calculation across different programming languages:
// PHP
// Get time from 7 minutes ago
$pastDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-7 minutes'));
// Get time 7 minutes from now
$futureDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+7 minutes'));
// Using DateTime
$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify('-7 minutes');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
                // JavaScript // Get time from 7 minutes ago const pastDate = new Date(Date.now() - 7 * 60000); // Get time 7 minutes from now const futureDate = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 60000); // Using date methods const date = new Date(); date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() - 7); console.log(date.toISOString());
# Python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
# Get time from 7 minutes ago
past_date = datetime.now() - timedelta(minutes=7)
# Get time 7 minutes from now
future_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(minutes=7)
# Format the dates
print(past_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
print(future_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
