Re: [PHP] comparing dates works sometimes and fails another time!
You are doing a string compare not date, convert them to a unix time stamp
and then compare
$d1 = explode("-",$date1);
$d2 = explode("-",$date2);
$ts1 = mktime(0,0,0,$d1[1],$d1[2],$d1[0]);
$ts2 = mktime(0,0,0,$d2[1],$d2[2],$d2[0]);
if( $ts1 $ts2 ):
echo "Date 1 is greater than date2";
elseif($ts1 == $ts2):
echo "date 1 is equal to date 2" ;
else:
echo " date 2 is greater than date 1";
endif;
should work :)

Hi!
$date1="2001-1-7";$date2="2001-1-14";
if ($date1=$date2) echo "date1 is greater then date2";
else echo "date2 is greater then date1";
the result is the first :(
but it works for other dates!
Thanks

Re: [PHP] comparing dates works sometimes and fails another time!
If you _do_ want to use this method for comparing dates (which isn't realy a usual way of doing it... there date-functions) you should fill up with leading 0's, like: $date1="2001-01-07"; $date2="2001-01-14"; The reason is _very_ simple... You performing a text-compare here. And let's face it... the characters "-1" (day of date2) are "smaller" than "-7" (day in date1). So...

Re: [PHP] comparing dates works sometimes and fails another time!
What are appropriate functions to do Date and Time comparison? like: Date difference Date Comparison? Adding 'n' days to current date string value, Removing 'n' month, etc. Where can i find the date integer enconding used in PHP? Like i know how it's done in Delphi (as stored as a Double value) but in PHP, the date integer how is it encoded? thanks.
