“I saw him” is the past tense. “I’ve seen him” is the present perfect tense. In your example, only one of these sentences is grammatically correct – the first. You can not use the present perfect tense when you are indicating a specific time (like today). Present perfect is used to indicate some time prior to the present but not specified. So, if you want to specify a day, like today, you should stick to the past tense.

They mean the same thing, and both are grammatically correct…”saw” is past tense, “have” is present tense and “seen” is a past participle.

There’s no difference in those sentences – they both mean the same thing.
