You are doing a string compare not date, convert them to a unix time stamp and then compare $d1 = explode("-",$date1); $d2 = explode("-",$date2); $ts1 = mktime(0,0,0,$d1[1],$d1[2],$d1[0]); $ts2 = mktime(0,0,0,$d2[1],$d2[2],$d2[0]); if( $ts1 > $ts2 ): echo "Date 1 is greater than date2"; elseif($ts1 == $ts2): echo "date 1 is equal to date 2" ; else: echo " date 2 is greater than date 1"; endif; should work :) Tom At 09:50 AM 28/03/01 +0000, kaab kaoutar wrote: >Hi! > >$date1="2001-1-7";$date2="2001-1-14"; >if ($date1>=$date2) echo "date1 is greater then date2"; >else echo "date2 is greater then date1"; >the result is the first :( >but it works for other dates! > >Thanks > >_________________________________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. > > >-- >PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
