$firstDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y/m/d', '2013-08-27');
$firstdate=date_create_from_format("j-M-Y","27-Aug-2013");Just noticed the rest of your question The first line is your code. The second line is the line I got from the example that works. I'm not an expert on php by any means, but you might want to recheck the syntax for the create from format command http://w3schools.com/php/php_ref_date.asp Looking at the available commands on the page above, I don't see a createfromformat command? -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary Jeurink Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2013 1:08 PM To: 'ProFox Email List' Subject: RE: mysql workbench Thanks... Ted corrected my previous version and your solution should work too. Is it a problem that curDate uses slashes and the rest uses dashes. It's the firstDate that keeps getting flagged.

For example, you will notice that I specified j-M-Y in the first date format, and in the echo I specified Y/m/d That is no big thing. It just happened that way because of the examples I found on w3schools. One thing I've found that might help is when you find a command that looks like it will work on w3schools, click on the example button as it will pop up a screen and show you how the command is actually used. -----Original Message----- From: Virgil Bierschwale [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 6:16 PM To: 'ProFox Email List' Subject: RE: mysql workbench Sorry, I've been busy with my own stuff and didn't see that you were still working on this <?php $curdate=date('Y/m/d'); $firstdate=date_create_from_format("j-M-Y","27-Aug-2013"); echo date_format($firstdate,"Y/m/d"); $seconddate=date_create_from_format("j-M-Y","02-Sep-2013"); echo date_format($seconddate,"Y/m/d"); ?> I can't leave it up there very long, but if you look at the bottom of the middle table (to the right of the video in the header), you will see these two dates The code above will give you these dates. I haven't checked the comparison part yet, but if you need help with it, let me know.

True = 1 / Y / .T. .. is over my head is that associate array? My biggest block today is how to set the value of a date variable without a syntax error in PHP function getCurWeek() { $curDate = Date('Y/m/d'); $firstDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y/m/d', '2013-08-27'); $secondDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y/m/d', '2013-09-02'); if ($curDate >= $firstDate && $curDate <= $secondDate) { $curWeek = '01'; return $curWeek; } First and second date won't fly Gary Jeurink -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Russell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 11:32 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: mysql workbench On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 10:58 AM, Gary Jeurink <[email protected]>wrote: > Yes, that sounds like a winner idea.
