just a thought. I dont see much use of processing data and labeling it the day befor. why not just run it from cron @ end of bussiness day or even at 11:55pm then u dont have to worry about adding and subtracting from the date.?
also if you look at the date man page at the bottom there are plenty of examples of getting the date in a format you would like.
