Does this work if your server is in a different time zone? My blog is set to +0 as I'm in the UK, but the server my site is on is in the US running om Singapore time!

I actually made a change once I found out what timezone my server was in – its located on the east coast and I'm on the west coast, so I had to subtract 3 hours to make it absolutely correct
Here's how mine looks now – you should be able to adjust it similarly

$today = date("m.d.Y", strtotime("-3 hours"));
$yesterday = date("m.d.Y", strtotime("-1 day – 3 hours"));
$mtdate = "<$MTEntryDate format="%m.%d.%Y"$>";

if ($mtdate==$today) {
echo "Today";
}
elseif ($mtdate==$yesterday) {
echo "Yesterday";
}
else {
echo("<$MTEntryDate format="%A"$>");
}
?>

Hope that helps!

The funny things is, I went by your site last night and was wondering how that very function worked. I wake up this morning and find the answer.

That's a handy script! Perhaps some variations of this would be useful as well, such as tying in the date with a javascript funtion which indicates how many hours ago (if today) else how many days ago. Not that I know how to do that
Thanks for posting this
