Ah, see ... this is what I was talking about with making sure they are in the same format :) > Can I use this "yyyy-mm-dd" to compare with value from > another date variabile in the "yyyymmdd" format?

You can change yyyy-mm-dd to yyyymmdd like this: $withoutdashes = ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $withdashes); This wil actually remove everything from the string that is not a number between 0 and 9 (ie, numbers).
