RE: date problem

[Marc Fromm <Marc.Fromm@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply.

Every example on comparing dates in PHP that I found uses the "strtotime" function which I am using.  What other type can I use?

When is this example below supposed to work?

// your first date coming from a mysql database (date fields)
$dateA = '2008-03-01 13:34';
// your second date coming from a mysql database (date fields)
$dateB = '2007-04-14 15:23';
if(strtotime<http://www.php.net/strtotime>($dateA) > strtotime<http://www.php.net/strtotime>($dateB)){
    // bla bla
}

Thanks

Hi.

date returns a string

You should compare a different type for bigger/smaller than

I am comparing to dates.

define('WSOFFBEGIN','09/16/2012');
$jes = 01/03/2012;

if ( date("m/d/Y", strtotime($jes)) < date("m/d/Y", strtotime(WSOFFBEGIN)) )
    {
        $error = " MUST begin after " . WSOFFBEGIN . "\n";
    }

I cannot figure out why the $error is being assigned inside the if statement, since the statement should be false. 01/03/2012 is not less than 09/16/2012.
