There are many ways, you can either take away the amount of seconds in a year from time() like so:

$prevYear = date('Y', time() - 60*60*24*365 );

Or if you'd prefer, use the PHPs clever strtotime() function:

$prevYear = date('Y', strtotime('-1 year'));

Or even like others have said, if it's from todays year just do date('Y') -1

Shortest approach:

$lastYear = (int)date("Y") - 1;

function adddate($vardate,$added)
{
$data = explode("-", $vardate);
$date = new DateTime();            
$date->setDate($data[0], $data[1], $data[2]);
$date->modify("".$added."");
$day= $date->format("Y-m-d");
return $day;    
}

echo "Example : " . adddate("2010-08-01","-1 year");

date('Y', strtotime('last year'));

This thread needs an update.

Nowadays you would use the PHP date-time object and do something like this:

$lastYear = new DateTime();
$lastYear->sub(new DateInterval('P1Y'));
echo $lastYear->format('Y');
