Using a fixed -mtime value might get more files than you are expecting.
Try creating two reference files with touch and specify the timestamp as a date that will set delimiters for the age range of your files, then use find to get the files modified between the two reference files.
Would this approach help? What have you tried so far?
You haven't told us your OS version, so do you have the GNU date available so you can do date -d 'yesterday' and similar things?
We can probably help you achieve what you want, but you need to be clearer in the specification.

Robin

LEARN ABOUT PHP
datetime.settimestamp
DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3) 1 DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3)
DateTime::setTimestamp - Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public DateTime DateTime::setTimestamp (int $unixtimestamp)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
DateTime date_timestamp_set (DateTime $object, int $unixtimestamp)
Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp.
PARAMETERS
o $object
-Procedural style only: A DateTime object returned by date_create(3). The function modifies this object.
o $unixtimestamp
- Unix timestamp representing the date.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the DateTime object for method chaining or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) example
Object oriented style
<?php
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
$date->setTimestamp(1171502725);
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
Procedural style
<?php
$date = date_create();
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
date_timestamp_set($date, 1171502725);
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above examples will output something similar to:
1272508903 = 2010-04-28 22:41:43
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
NOTES
Using the Unix timestamp format to construct a new DateTime object is an alternative when using PHP 5.2, as shown in the example below.
Example #2
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) alternative in PHP 5.2
<?php
$ts = 1171502725;
$date = new DateTime("@$ts");
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
