How is the date stored? What type of field? it didn't work for = and = operators. i also tried using between but it didn't give desire result :-( How are you doing your comparison? As php code? As sql query? is there any other comparison operator to be used for date??? , =, , = can all be used if your data is in the correct format. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* Oh, yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of livin' is gone. -- John Cougar, Jack and Diane */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] Date comparison problem
But I would like to do it the other way round. I mean for the solution you have mentioned, I have to make the query on the whole record, then compare the two dates and filter the right ones. I'd like to make the query look like: SELECT something FROM table WHERE datetime $form_date So I think I have to adjust the form of my $form_date. Or am I making a mistake somewhere? Thanx Gabor --- This is how I do it: date(m/d/Y,strtotime(odbc_result($rs,ts))) where $rs is the result set and ts is the name of the field containing the datetime.

I have got a datetime field in a MS-SQL DB, and I have a date field in my html-form with the format: DD/MM/. I would like to compare the two, but I think the two formats are a bit different and they do not really want to be compared:) If I write a query to write out the datetime field from the DB, I get the form : 02 05 2002 12:25 In the HTML-form it looks a bit different: 12/10/2000 I do not really want to explode the form-data and than build a new timestamp, it has to be a more simple way.

RE: [PHP-DB] Date comparison problem
Hi, Assuming your dates have the format you specified and that you only want to compare dates, not time aswell. $str_sql = SELECT something FROM mytable WHERE LEFT(my_datetime, 10) = ' . str_replace(/, , $form_date) . '; or if day / month is reversed in MSSQL $str_sql = SELECT something FROM mytable WHERE LEFT(my_datetime, 10) = ' . substr($form_date, 3, 2) . . substr($form_date, 0, 2) . . substr($form_date, 6, 4) .
