Perhap a date difference will help, PHP doesn't have this feature, date_diff() while C/C++ have this feature. So, there is a way, you can use the date() function and get the day difference. So, if you have one day difference, you use the if statement or switch statement to use the word 'Yesterday'. For 'Last Week', I don't know because it is a little tricky. :-) Someone else may know of something better than I do.
