php - Display last (past) Friday date on website

Question

This is what I currently use to display the date for this coming Friday.

$date_friday = date('F j', strtotime('Friday'));
print $date_friday;

What should I use to display the date for the past (last) Friday?

Here is an answer to a similar question (actually the same but for tuesday) : how to get the date of last week's (tuesday or any other day) in php?

strtotime('last friday') should work.
