Hello,

I want to get yesterdays date.
Is there an easy way to do it?
Because the mktime-function doesn't seam to be the best option.

Thanks,

Hi,

mktime() works fine for me:

$yesterday=date('Y-m-d', mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d") - 1, date("Y")));

But you can also use the following code:

$yesterday=date("Y-m-d", time()-86400);

The result should be the same.

PHP yesterday date
