I thought we should compare only possible by splitting the $val1 and $val2 in to date, month,year.. after that first compare the year and then month,date , finally compare the timings.. for that we need to split first with ':' separator and then split with '/' separator .. that's why i told it takes too large.. but you have solved my problem.. if suppose i will check both are less than or greater than then the above solution is not suitable??
