How can i remove 5 minutes from current date() in PHP

Question

I would like to show me the date minus 5 minutes from the current time; my code is like this:

(date('Y-m-d H:i-5:s'))

but it's not correct because var_dump produces:

2012-08-08 13:27-5:49

Any ideas on how can I do this?

PHP Function:

strtotime()

Example:

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-5 minutes'));

You seemed happy enough to be fishmonger by handing the answer to Jimmy on a plate; I just used the same date format as the question. – salathe Aug 08 '12 at 18:13
