Re: Difference between 2 Dates

I have a similar problem. I am trying to figure out which of two dates is greater. Both are in the yyyy-mm-dd format. Is there any easy function that allows this sort of comparison or am I missing something? On Friday, December 13, 2002, at 01:43 PM, vernon wrote:

I found this code on the php.net web site but am new to php and can't figure out how to dispaly the difference once calucuated. Belowis the code I'm using: # --- Date Difference --- #Date 1 from MySQL database recordset row $date1 = $row_rsMESSAGES['privmsgs_date']; #Date 2 - now $date2 = date("ymd H:is"); #function function date_diff($date1, $date2) { $s = strtotime($date2)-strtotime($date1); $d = intval($s/86400); $s -= $d*86400; $h = intval($s/3600); $s -= $h*3600; $m = intval($s/60); $s -= $m*60; return array("d"=>$d,"h"=>$h,"m"=>$m,"s"=>$s); } #what I thought would dispaly the diffence but returns and error. echo date_diff("$m, $d, $h, $m"); Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
