Pass the date into the function                lt  php                 function getTheDay  date                                         curr date strtotime date  Y-m-d H i s                          the date strtotime  date                        diff floor   curr date- the date   60 60 24                        switch  diff                                                case 0                              return  Today                               break                          case 1                              return  Yesterday                               break                          default                              return  diff   Days ago                                                         gt

First  You have mistake in using function strtotime see PHP documentation  int strtotime   string  time    int  now   time         You need modify your code to pass integer timestamp into this function   Second  You use format d m Y H i that includes time part  If you wish to compare only dates  you must remove time part  e g    date   date  d m Y       Third  I am not sure if it works in the same way for you  but my PHP doesn t understand date format from  timestamp and returns 01 01 1970 02 00 into  match date   timestamp    2014 09 02T13 34   date  d m Y H i   strtotime  timestamp        01 01 1970 02 00     You need to check if strtotime  timestamp  returns correct date string  If no  you need to specify format which is used in  timestamp variable  You can do this using one of functions date parse from format or DateTime  createFromFormat  This is a work example    timestamp    2014 09 02T13 34     today   new DateTime       This object represents current date time  today- gt setTime  0  0  0       reset time part  to prevent partial comparison   match date   DateTime  createFromFormat   Y m d  TH i    timestamp     match date- gt setTime  0  0  0       reset time part  to prevent partial comparison   diff    today- gt diff   match date     diffDays    integer  diff- gt format    R a        Extract days count in interval  switch   diffDays         case 0          echo    Today           break      case -1          echo    Yesterday           break      case  1          echo    Tomorrow           break      default          echo    Sometime

There is no built-in functions to do that in Php  shame      You want to compare a date string to today  you could use a simple substr to achieve it   if  substr  timestamp  0  10      date  Y m d      today   elseif  substr  timestamp  0  10      date  Y m d   strtotime  -1 day      yesterday     No date conversion  simple

This worked for me  where I wanted to display keyword  today  or  yesterday  only if date was today and previous day otherwise display date in d-M-Y format   lt  php function findDayDiff  date       param date date  d-m-Y  strtotime  date       response     param date     if  param date  date  d-m-Y  strtotime  now              response    Today       else if  param date  date  d-m-Y  strtotime  -1 days              response    Yesterday            return  response      gt
