Question

Basically in my MySQL record database. There is a database field called “time” and that is set as Datetime.

$today = "";
$yesterday = "";
$currentmonth = "";
$lastmonth = "";

How do I get the following variables based on the Datetime(); the records appear with time like so (I was considering replacing the string after so many characters but speed is an issue?)

2011-11-10 11:59:45
2011-11-10 11:57:12
2011-11-10 11:55:29
2011-11-10 11:54:55
2011-11-10 11:54:21

Answer 1

You can try this :

$time = strtotime("2011-11-10 11:59:45");
$day = date("d",$time);
$month = date("m",$time);
$year = date("Y",$time);

You can use date("d")+1 or date("d")-1 to get day after tomorrow or yesterdays date. Same is the case for month and year.
