Re: Comparing Dates
I also use 'Y-m-d H:i:s' format, the Time helper makes it nice and easy to work with these fields anyhow, the former is more readable for an end user and also I don't think the benefits of switching it to numerical are worth the effort. http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/time.html#TimeHelper::daysAsSql On 24 March 2014 10:32, José Lorenzo jose@gmail.com wrote: I use '2014-03-01 23:25:03' On Monday, March 24, 2014 5:26:17 AM UTC+1, advantage+ wrote: When comparing dates as a value in the query it looks like this `created` '2014-03-01 23:25:03' or `created` = '2014-02-23 23:25:03' Is that the best way? *'2014-03-01 23:25:03' *does not look numical.

Comparing Dates
When comparing dates as a value in the query it looks like this `created` '2014-03-01 23:25:03' or `created` = '2014-02-23 23:25:03' Is that the best way? '2014-03-01 23:25:03' does not look numical. Or is it best to save that created value as strtotime() so you actually have a numerical value. 1393716303 since comparing if something is great / less than seems more appropriate.

Comparing Dates
I want to compare 2 dates to make sure 1 date is older than the other. I believe I need to write my own comparison, but want to make sure there's nothing in Cake that already does this. I know date formats can be checked and I've seen a post saying the 'comparison' check is regex-based, which wouldn't help. Are my assumptions correct?

Re: Comparing Dates
still learning about cake... but surely converting the dates into a timestamp and doing the comparison is the best way? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Comparing Dates
I guess using strtotime will make it. If ever you use the $from- input for the date, do not forget to call the cleanupFields before the save, this will ensure your date is concatenated in your date field.
