RE: PHP and mySQL dates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

Hi all. I am building an online events registry and have mapped out all the
dates between Oct 1 2006 and Dec 31 2030, stored in the database as
timestamps incremented by 86400 to give daily slots.

I do not really understand the purpose of mapping all dates between Oct 1
2006 and Dec 31 2030 and store them into a database as a timestamp. First of
all, a date is a date, not a timestamp. A timestamp is date and time
together.

Why don't you just save the events with the date as DATE format and then
compare them with CURDATE() or similar. Or just with "$_SESSION[year]-
"$_SESSION[month]- "$_SESSION[day]"

Just some thoughts.
