RE: [PHP] date expressions
Convert it to timestamp and then compare or if the date's in a mysql database let mysql handle the comparison for you.

RE: [PHP] date expressions
Don't need to convert to timestamp. Mysql will handle dates directly without this unnecessary conversion. -Original Message- From: James E.

There was a recent tutorial on DevShed introducing date usage in PHP. http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/DateTime Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
