Hi,
Do you use a custom error handler?

Hi all,
I am having a problem with comparing time. I am using the following:
$todaydate = date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a");
$showenddate = date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a",
strtotime($showsRecord['end_date']));
if ($todaydate > $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived";
else:
echo "The show has ended";
endif;
The problem that I am encountering is that PHP is rendering the reverse of
the equation. For example:
If today's date is *11 Nov 2012* and the show's end date is *18 Nov 2012*,
the message that I am getting is *the show has ended* which is wrong. A
test example is at http://www.lakesidesurrey.co.uk/test.php.
You can also me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Terry

You can always use timestamp which is integer.
$todaydate = time();
$showenddate = strtotime($showsRecord['end_date']);

The date function returns a string.

So here you are comparing two strings; PHP has no idea they are dates.

Compare timestamps instead, i.e. time() for the current time, and what you get
back from strtotime for the end date.

Hi Shiplu and Stuart,
Comparing timestamps was my first option. I've reinstated it. Have a look
at http://www.lakesidesurrey.co.uk/test.php (show_source included) and you
will see that PHP is still outputting the wrong thing.
I just can't figure out what's wrong.

Your comparison is backwards:
if ($todaydate > $showenddate):
should be
if ($todaydate < $showenddate):

This is what you have:
if ($todaydate > $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived<br>";
else:
echo "The show has ended<br>";
endif;
That says: if the current time is later than the end date of the show, tell
them the date of the show hasn't arrived yet.
What you mean is: if the current time is later than the end of the show, tell
them the show has ended.
if ($todaydate < $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived<br>";
else:
echo "The show has ended<br>";
endif;
It's a simple logic error.

Stuart,
I reversed it as you suggested and every future show is displaying as
having ended.

In that case the code you're showing us is not the code you're running, because
that's the obvious error in test.php.

Hi all,
I am having a problem with comparing time. I am using the following:
$todaydate = date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a");
$showenddate = date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a",
strtotime($showsRecord['end_date']));
if ($todaydate > $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived";
else:
echo "The show has ended";
endif;
The problem that I am encountering is that PHP is rendering the reverse of
the equation. For example:
If today's date is *11 Nov 2012* and the show's end date is *18 Nov 2012*,
the message that I am getting is *the show has ended* which is wrong. A
test example is at http://www.lakesidesurrey.co.uk/test.php.
You can also me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Terry
Besides the minor fact that the code has syntax errors, the problem with
it is your if is backwrads. The facts are: today is less than end date,
so your if should show "The show has ended" since you are asking if
today IS GREATER than the end date.

BTW - this is the code I used to test out your process:
<?
$dt_format = "D, M jS, Y g:i:s a";
$todaydate = date($dt_format);
$showenddate = strtotime("11/18/12 16:00:00");
if ($todaydate > $showenddate)
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived";
else
echo "The show has ended";

Not only is the logic wrong, but date returns a string, while strtotime
returns an int. Comparing those two to eachother is just... wrong.
Comparing 2 integers and saying one is bigger than the other: ok
Comparing a string and an integer, saying one is bigger than the other:
recipe for failure.

HTTP auth doesn't need to involve the web server at all:

Its rather better to auto using a apikey. You'll provide this apikey on the
website where user registers their application.
