fmxslt:get_date()

[spacericker9k]

i have a db that i'd like to search by date but i dont want an edit box in which the user freely enters a date. i want the date seach field to be 3 radio buttons. the values would be a)search the last month b)search the last 2 months and 3)search the last year

i'm using fmxslt:get_date() and trying to manipulate the date so it reflects the 3 choices. is there a way i can manipulate the date i get with fmxslt:get_date() to do what i want? does anybody have any other ideas on how i can do this? thanks

Here an example to calculate a date for say, 30 days ago:

You may figure out from the CWP guide, pp. 72-74 how the other calculations may work.
