You can use strtotime function. It'll take any textual rep of a date and convert it to Unix Timestamp. Then your checks will be int based.
You can then use Date() to format it back to your liking, etc. -- Scott Carr OpenOffice.org Documentation Maintainer http://documentation.openoffice.org/ Quoting Dash McElroy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Well... you could cut the string down like: > > $string = substr("$string", 0, 9); > > then explode them into an array like follows: > > $array = explode("-", "$string"); > > and then... > > $dbdate = date("m/d/Y", mktime(0,0,0,$array[1],$array[2],$array[0])); > > then do your compare. > > OR - you could just compare the two mktime calls (i.e. the mktime call above > and then compare it with a mktime call with the current (or user specified) > date). > > PHEW! > > Good luck! > > -Dash > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kit Kerbel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 12:05 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Date conversion > > > I'm pulling the "2002-04-02 00:00:00" from a database(mssql).
