If $month equals date("m") and $year equals date("Y") and $day
equals date("d") - 1 then it's yesterday.
If $month equals date("m") and $year equals date("Y") and $day
equals date("d") then it's today.
If $month equals date("m") and $year equals date("Y") and $day
equals date("d") + 1 then it's tomorrow.
Otherwise, echo date("F d, g:i a");
As Dan Joseph mentioned, read up on date()[1] and mktime()[2], and
I'd also recommend strtotime()[3]. Moreover, take the logic above and
code your PHP to match it. A simple if/elseif/else or case/switch
block will do it for you.

3: http://php.net/strtotime
