Example using UnixTimeStamp:

function getLastNDays($days_count = 5) {
  $today = time();
  $last_days = [];

  for ($i = 0; $i < $days_count; $i++) {
      $prev_day = $today - (3600 * 24 * $i);
      array_push($last_days, $prev_day);
  }

  return $last_days;
}

// Вывод
$days = array_map(function($item){
  return date('d M', $item);
}, getLastNDays(5));

asort($days);

echo implode(', ', $days); // 11 Aug, 12 Aug, 13 Aug, 14 Aug, 15 Aug

function getLastNDays($days_count = 5) {
  $datetime = new DateTime();
  $last_days = [];

  for ($i = 0; $i < $days_count; $i++) {
    array_push($last_days, clone $datetime);
    $datetime->sub(new DateInterval('P1D'));
  }

  return $last_days;
}

// Вывод
$days = array_map(function($item){
  return $item->format('d M');
}, getLastNDays(5));

asort($days);

echo implode(', ', $days); // 11 Aug, 12 Aug, 13 Aug, 14 Aug, 15 Aug
