[SOLVED] > date format dd/mm/yy

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to make an if statement dependant on the start date being greater than Jan 1, 2007.  If my db field format was yyyy/mm/dd , then the way I'm going about it works fine.  But format is mm/dd/yy, and I'm not getting the right result.  Do I need to convert to yyyy/mm/dd (and if so, any help would be appreciated) or is there a way to do a > or < check against format mm/dd/yy format?  Here's what I have:

 

$selected_radio = $_POST['user_type'];

 

// check table to see if they already exist as active user

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customer_details WHERE FirstName = '$InitFName' AND LastName = '$InitLName' AND Email = '$InitEmail' and status = 'active'");

$num = mysql_num_rows($query);

$result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);

 

if($num>0 && $selected_radio=='reporter' && $result["Start_Date"] > '01/01/07')

 

Thanks.

Thanks all, you steered me down the right path.  Pretty new to this and didn't know strtotime .  For anyone else in the future, I solved the issue by adding and changing:

 

$my_date = $result["Start_Date"];

$my_time = strtotime($my_date);

$datenew = date('Y-m-d',$my_time);

 

if($num>0 && $selected_radio=='reporter' && $datenew > '2007-01-01')

 

Great help, and greatly appreciated.

Good, but in the future please be sure to use


tags around code for proper formatting and syntax highlighting.
