Re^2: Getting previous dates from the current date

However, a small "proof of concept" won't hurt anyone

Yes it will — it will hurt people who see your code and think that it works! Didn't the clocks change in Portugal on Sunday as well? You can't assume that days will have exactly 24 hours in them.

Well, I do say it's a proof of concept, and I even underlined it to note that... But you are, of course, correct. People look at code and copy-paste it without looking at nothing else, so... I hope they will at least notice the bold warning at the bottom, which was just placed there.	[reply]
