PHP: date “Yesterday”, “Today”

Question

I have a little function that shows latest activity, it grab timestamp in unix format from the db, and then it echo out with this line:

 date(\"G:i:s j M -Y\         


        

Answer 1

I would find the timestap for last midnight and the one before it, if $last_access is between the two timestamps, then display yesterday, anything greater than last midnight's timestamp would be today...

I believe that would be the quicker than doing date arithmetic.

Actually, I just tested this code and it seems to work great:

= strtotime("today"))
        echo "Today";
    else if ($last_access >= strtotime("yesterday"))
        echo "Yesterday";
?>
