Okay, I am probably splitting hairs over here, but I ran into an icky
situation with the native ColdFusion function DateDiff() today and just
thought I'd check whether anyone else has experienced this before.
Basically, I wrote a CF Scheduled Task that is supposed to go to a directory
and delete all PDF files that are created before today. Simple enough,
right? It should be really, but the DateDiff() function is behaving
strangely. Try running the code below:
<cfset variables.yesterday = "04-04-2010 11:59 PM">
<cfset variables.today = "04-05-2010 12:01 AM">
<cfoutput>today - yesterday = #dateDiff("d",yesterday,today)#</cfoutput>
You see how it thinks the the date difference is ZERO??? Shouldn't it be
ONE???!!! There are ways to get around this (elegantly or otherwise)... but
now I am just irked and curious. Is this expected behavior and I am just not
understanding the function correctly or is this a bug that should get fixed?
