在PHP中获取特定的日期/时间值

Question

I have a cron task that logs a value in my database every 15 minutes so my database rows look something like this:

1, 100, 1311312600
1, 100, 1311313200
1, 90, 1311313800

etc.

The third field is a time() value.

Lets say the current time is 1:00PM on 07/22/2011. I want to see all of yesterdays values, so I need the following times for my SQL query.

07/22/2011 00:00:00
07/21/2011 00:00:00

How do I generate those values from the current time? Keep getting tripped up!

Answer 1

$yesterday_begin = strtotime('-1 day 12:00:00 AM');
$yesterday_end   = strtotime('-1 day 11:59:59 PM');

Then

SELECT * FROM ... WHERE time_stamp BETWEEN $yesterday_begin AND $yesterday_end
