Title Body

I have found hundreds of questions and answers for topics SIMILAR to this on SO, however, none match my needs specifically and I am stumped. I have a variable in y-m-d format and I need to see if it was created on the previous calendar day (not 24 hours previous, but on the previoous calendar day). ie. $tDate = '12-05-2'; If object created May 2, 2012 at 11:59pm(stored time) I need a comparison to May 3, 2012 12:01 am(current time) to equal true. If object created May 2, 2012 at 11:51pm(stored time) I need a comparison to May 2, 2012 11:58pm(current time) to equal false. I know if these were stored in a MySQL db and pulled from a field, MySQL could figure that out easily. In this case, however, that solution is not an option. This comparison must be done entirely in php. I know it's an eccentric question, but hey, that's what the guru's at StackOverflow excel at! Looking forward to seeing the replies! UPDATE Figured this out as: $dTest = '12-05-02'; $dTest = explode('-',$dTest); $dTest2 = date('y-m-d'); $dTest2 = explode('-',$dTest2); if ($dTest[2]<$dTest2[2]){ echo '<br />Posted Yesterday<br />'; } else { echo '<br />Posted Today<br />'; } Is there a more efficient solution? Seems to work, but I figure there must be a more optimal/elegant solution? SOLVED $tHolder = '12-05-12'; $voteDate = date("y-m-d", strtotime($tHolder)); $today = date("y-m-d", strtotime("today")); if ($voteDate === $today) { echo "this was today's post"; } elseif ($voteDate < $today) { echo "this was previous to today"; }
