Topic: [SOLVED] comparing date

[localhost1]

hi!
i have requested the selected date from another page and the current date is taken from session. now i want to check one condition that if the selected date is greater than the todays date then open a form else do not open. but the date comparison code is not working. here is my code

Code: [Select]


$user_sel_date=$_REQUEST['myseldate'];
$mycurrentdate=$_SESSION['mycurrdate'];


if ($user_sel_date >= $mycurrentdate) {
echo "inside the if";
}
else
echo "outside the if";

Both dates may be the same , but the may be in different formats.

the former may be dd-mm-yy and the latter may be mm-dd-yy

Have you tried echoing the values ?

[localhost1]

yes i have tried this one. both the date is in following format

Code: [Select]

$month=$_REQUEST['mon'];
$year=$_REQUEST['yr'];
$date=date("d");
the date is in the same format.
actually i want to try this code in calender. the above comparison is working in the present month in the calender. but when i click in next month button of the calender then the above comparison is not working.

What are the date formates ?

Try

$user_sel_date=strtotime($_REQUEST['myseldate']);
$mycurrentdate=strtotime($_SESSION['mycurrdate']);


if ($user_sel_date >= $mycurrentdate) {
echo "inside the if";
}
else
echo "outside the if";
