PHP

How to display the date of yesterday and tomorrow by using
gmdate(“l F jS Y”)
for eg :
Today is Tuesday Jan 18th, 2005

I want to display :-

Tomorrow is Wednesday Jan 19th 2005
Yesterday was Monday Jan 17th 2005

try this little snippet of code


   $date_format = 'l F jS Y';
   
   $today = mktime();
   $d = date('d', $today);
   $m = date('m', $today);
   $y = date('Y', $today);
   
   $yesterday = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, ($d - 1), $y);
   $tomorrow = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, ($d + 1), $y);
   
   echo ' Yesterday - ' . gmdate($date_format, $yesterday) . '<br />';
   echo ' Today - ' . gmdate($date_format, $today) . '<br />';
   echo ' Tomorrow - ' . gmdate($date_format, $tomorrow) . '<br />';

An alternative method


  $date_format = 'l F jS Y';
  $today = strtotime('now');
  $yesterday = strtotime('-1 day', $today);
  $tomorrow = strtotime('+1 day', $today);
  echo ' Yesterday - ' . gmdate($date_format, $yesterday) . '<br />';
  echo ' Today - ' . gmdate($date_format, $today) . '<br />';
  echo ' Tomorrow - ' . gmdate($date_format, $tomorrow) . '<br />';

It is displaying the wrong result.

Result :-

Yesterday - Sunday January 16th 2005
Today - Tuesday January 18th 2005
Tomorrow - Tuesday January 18th 2005

Please post the exact code you are using.

These are the results I get

Using mktime
Yesterday - Monday January 17th 2005
Today - Tuesday January 18th 2005
Tomorrow - Wednesday January 19th 2005

Using strtotime
Yesterday - Monday January 17th 2005
Today - Tuesday January 18th 2005
Tomorrow - Wednesday January 19th 2005

swdev’s 2nd version (using strtotime) works fine for me and gives the right dates, here it is again cleaned-up a little bit - try it and see:


<?php
	$date_format = 'l F jS Y';
	$yesterday = strtotime('-1 day');
	$tomorrow = strtotime('+1 day');
	echo ' Yesterday - ' . date($date_format, $yesterday) . '<br />';
	echo ' Today - ' . date($date_format) . '<br />';
	echo ' Tomorrow - ' . date($date_format, $tomorrow) . '<br />';
?>

Cheers,

SwDev alternative method works fine for me.

Thankyou all.

<?php
$date_format = ‘l F jS Y’;
$today = strtotime(‘now’);
$yesterday = strtotime(‘-1 day’, $today);
$tomorrow = strtotime(‘+1 day’, $today);
echo ’ Yesterday - ’ . gmdate($date_format, $yesterday) . ‘<br />’;
echo ’ Today - ’ . gmdate($date_format, $today) . ‘<br />’;
echo ’ Tomorrow - ’ . gmdate($date_format, $tomorrow) . ‘<br />’;

?>
