This should get you pretty close.

Code:
F_LOC=/tmp/test/files/testing
S_LOC=/var/www/path
R_FILE=/tmp/reffile.$$

trap "rm -f \"${R_FILE}\"" EXIT HUP INT QUIT

today=$(date +%Y%m%d)
touch -t ${today}0000 "${R_FILE}"
[ -d "${F_LOC}/$today" ] || mkdir -p "${F_LOC}/$today"
cd "${F_LOC}"
(  
  cd "${S_LOC}"
  find . -type f -newer "${R_FILE}" -print0
) |  rsync -av0RD --files-from=- "${S_LOC}" "./$today"


You can remove v (verbose) from the rsync options above once you are happy it is working as intended.
