Random Yesterday's Date

[intodesign]

Can someone help me please,
How can I echo a random date of the day before, something like that:

2014-06-21 22:29:03

I mean the hour should be random

OK…I’m confused.

What is it you want?

A random hour of a specified date?

A random hour of a random date?

A specified hour of a random date

Something else?

If this is not what you’re looking for, you’ll need to explain further.

/**
 * prints a date/time based on a random timestamp from the last 24 hours
 *
 * @param int $t      starting timestamp (defaults to "now")
 * @param string $f   date/time formatting string {@see php.net/date}
 * @throws E_WARNING  if no default timezone is set
 * @return string     a date/time string on success
 */
function random_datetime_last_day( $t=null,$f=null ){
  $t = $t?: time();
  $f = $f?: "Y-m-d H:i:s";
  return date( $f,rand( ($t-(60*60*24)),$t ) );
}

// set timezone as desired
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

// call function
echo random_datetime_last_day();
