The easiest way I found to do this is using mktime().
If you don't care about the time for the date you can use this...
$yesterday = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-1,date("Y"));
This translates to yesterday morning after midnight.
If you want the present time, only 24 hours before, use this...
$yesterday =
mktime(date("H"),date("i"),date("s"),date("m"),date("d")-1,date("Y"));
To display the date use...
date( "m/d/Y", $yesterday );
Or you can put the mktime code in play of $yesterday in the above line
of
code.
Good luck,
Jef

mktime also works: http://php.net/mktime:
date("Y-m-d", mktime( ... ))
