Apache on NT using MS SQL Srvr 2000 PHP 4.03pl1 I return these dates into strings and now I want to compare my database date to see if it is later than today's date. Pretty sure my "Expires" field is a string: Here is the "Expires" field from the SQL: Convert(varchar, DATEADD(Year,3,DateCertified),101) AS Expires Here is my PHP code trying to compare dates: $today = date("m/d/Y"); If ($today < odbc_result($data,"Expires")) { echo "<br><br>License has expired<br><br>"; } Else { echo "<br><br>License has not expired<br><br>"; } Sure could use a simple solution to a simple problem that has me simply confounded. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
