I generally use 1 hour after midnight with mktime() to avoid the edge
cases of daylight savings etc...
mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m') - 1, date('d'), date('Y'));
You also have to consider that you *COULD* call this right on the cusp
of midnight, and the call to date('d') could happen one day, and the
call to mktime( ) the next "day" as the clock ticked over...
At 1 am, the day doesn't change over...
Larry's probably right that you should use DateTime, but it's too
new-fangled for an old fart like me to have got around to messing with
it yet...
