[PHP] mkdate error?
The following bit of code completely baffles me as to why it doesn't work.
I am doing a very simple validation where I check to see if the end date
field of an inputted record is an older date than the start date.
I checked this by putting in the same date for both end and start dates. Yet
mkdate gives me a different value for each even though since they are both
the same date, I should get the same value returned. Right?
//notice the start and end date is the same. Therefore, you should get the
same value for each, right?
START LITTLE CODE SNIPPET
$parsed_start_date=split(/, 08/02/2002);
$parsed_end_date=split(/, 08/02/2002);
$start_dts = mktime(, , , $parsed_start_date[0],
$parsed_start_date[1], $parsed_start_date[2]);
$end_dts = mktime(, , , $parsed_end_date[0], $parsed_end_date[1],
$parsed_date[2]);
if ($start_dts $end_dts) {
echo This function thinks the end date is older than the start date.;
}
else {
echo Whoah, it actually worked.;
}
END LITTLE CODE SNIPPET
What am I not seeing?
Thanks in advance,
J. Chyun

RE: [PHP] mkdate error?
Your working with strings right? Would your if command be:
if ($start_dts gt $end_dts) {
echo This function thinks the end date is older than the start date.;
}
else {
echo Whoah, it actually worked.;
}
In string you should use the gt comparitive instead of the .
See if this works for you,

Re: [PHP] mkdate error?
YOU use $parsed_date[2] in stead of $parsed_end_date[2]

Oh my God. I had redone and ripped this apart for hours. Errors like this make me realize how stupid I truly am. Thank you for your help. :) I can go on with life now. J.
