Apache on NT using MS SQL Srvr 2000
PHP 4.03pl1
I return these dates into strings and now I want to compare my database date to see if it is later
than today's date. Pretty sure my "Expires" field is a string:
Here is the "Expires" field from the SQL:
Convert(varchar, DATEADD(Year,3,DateCertified),101) AS Expires
Here is my PHP code trying to compare dates:
$today = date("m/d/Y");
If ($today < odbc_result($data,"Expires"))
{
echo "<br><br>License has expired<br><br>";
}
Else
{
echo "<br><br>License has not expired<br><br>";
}
Sure could use a simple solution to a simple problem that has me simply confounded.
