function doDate($when, $days){
if($when=='past'){
echo date('l, F j, Y', time() - 86400 * $days);
}else if($when=='future'){
echo date('l, F j, Y', time() + 86400 * $days);
}
}

Usage: <?php doDate(‘[past/future]‘,[number of days]); ?>

Example: <?php doDate(‘past’,3); ?>

This will show a date either in the past or future for whatever days you want.

It gets the job done.
