Re: $date("l-m");

is it possible for $mydata->lastinsalled to have YYYY-MM-DD format? ie: 2004-05-31 you can use strtotime to convert it to unix timestamp to compare...something like this: $stamp = strtotime('2004-06-31'); // $mydata->lastinsalled if($stamp >= strtotime('1 year ago')) { echo 'less than 1 year'; } else { echo 'over 1 year'; } otherwise its impossible to tell if it is over one year without knowing the day as well.. unless you guess and figure on the first of the month..
