Getting the last 24 hours

Looking around on the web about this, you mostly see the wrong solutions, so:
If you want to query a database for the last 24 hours in a MySQL-query like:

SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE date BETWEEN '$lastday' AND '$date'

Then using:

$date = date('Y-m-d'); $lastday = date('Y-m-d',strtotime("-1 day"));

will give you today + yesterday all day.

Instead you need to do:

$lastday = date('Y-m-d',strtotime("-1 day + 24 hours"));

So: if you're not sure, check your code!
