Is it possible to check if the date ("j-1 F-1")???
I'm a noob so some script would help! Postdate is in a format like: 14 October.
if ($postdate == date("j F")) {$postdate = "today";} THIS WORKS...
But I need to check the $postdate for the "yesterday" value as well!
Q: How to check for yesterday? that is, date()-1 somehow.
Thanks again
date('j F', strtotime('-1 day'));
Will retrieve the "yesterday" timestamp. So :
if ($postdate == date('j F', strtotime('-1 day'))) {$postdate = "yesterday";}
use strtotime or mktime and then check if your date is between that value and todays timestamp.
if($date > strtotime('yesterday') && $date < time()) { echo 'yesterday or today' }
if($date > mktime(0,0,0,date('n'),date('j')-1) && $date < time()) { echo 'yesterday or today' }
$yesterday = date('j F', mktime(0,0,0, date('m'), date('d')-1, date('Y')));
The "magic" is in the mktime call. I seriously advise you to read the relevant parts of the PHP manual: this is almost a verbatim duplication of Example #3!
