RE: [PHP-DB] Date comparison problem

This is how I do it: date("m/d/Y",strtotime(odbc_result($rs,"ts"))) where $rs is the result set and "ts" is the name of the field containing the datetime. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Gabor Niederlaender [mailto:gabor.niederlaender@wu-wien.ac.at] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 8:21 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Date comparison problem Hi all! I have got a "datetime" field in a MS-SQL DB, and I have a "date field" in my html-form with the format: DD/MM/YYYY. I would like to compare the two, but I think the two formats are a bit different and they do not really want to be compared:) If I write a query to write out the "datetime" field from the DB, I get the form : 02 05 2002 12:25 In the HTML-form it looks a bit different: 12/10/2000 I do not really want to explode the form-data and than build a new timestamp, it has to be a more simple way.
