Re: comparing dates works sometimes and fails another time!

You are doing a string compare not date, convert them to a unix time stamp and then compare $d1 = explode("-",$date1); $d2 = explode("-",$date2); $ts1 = mktime(0,0,0,$d1[1],$d1[2],$d1[0]); $ts2 = mktime(0,0,0,$d2[1],$d2[2],$d2[0]); if( $ts1 > $ts2 ):

        echo "Date 1 is greater than date2";

elseif($ts1 == $ts2):

        echo "date 1 is equal to date 2" ;

else:

        echo " date 2 is greater than date 1";

endif; should work :) Tom At 09:50 AM 28/03/01 +0000, kaab kaoutar wrote:

Hi! $date1="2001-1-7";$date2="2001-1-14"; if ($date1>=$date2) echo "date1 is greater then date2"; else echo "date2 is greater then date1"; the result is the first :( but it works for other dates!
