I've got a date stored in my SQL7 database. When someone comes to the
site, I want to compare this date with Now() to see if they were here
today.
But it's just not happening for me. (Sigh - dates are always my nemesis!)
What am I doing wrong please?
The field in the SQL7 database is a datetime field, named whenvotes which
is brought to the template by the query testvoter:
<CFQUERY NAME="testvoter" DATASOURCE="datasource">
SELECT whenvotes, remote_addr
FROM poll_bank_1
Where remote_addr='#remote_addr#'
</CFQUERY>.
So to check if they were here today, I'm using the following:
<!--- turn ODBC Date into ColdFusion date format ---->
<cfset datevoted=parsedatetime(testvoter.whenvotes)>
<!--- compare to now - if dates are equal result is zero ---->
<cfif (datecompare('datevoted','now()') is '0')>
But the result I'm getting is an error message thus:
The date parameter of function ParseDateTime(date), which is , does not
represent a valid date
The error occurred while evaluating the expression:
datevoted=parsedatetime(testvoter.whenvotes)
The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier
of (CFSET), occupying document
