Was wondering if anyone could help?
suppose the date is 12-10-01 -------------------------------------- $timestamp = time(); //this is the "sent on" date $yd_expl = explode(':',08-01-01); $today=mktime(0,0,0,strftime('%m',$timestamp),strftime('%d',$timestamp),strftime('%y',$timestamp)); $sent=mktime($yd_expl[0],$yd_expl[1],$yd_expl[2]); if($today < $sent) { $bgcolor="white"; } else { $bgcolor="lightblue"; } ---------------------------------------- it returns $today: 1007971200 $sent: 1008000000 I want it to return a smaller number for sent on (since the sent on date is before todays date), than it does for today Thanks
