PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 To compare values, the format must be exactly the same. 2009-06-15T16:24:00Z is not the same as the result of date('Y-m-d') and date('h:i:s') Why is expiry not a DATETIME data type?

pgrevents Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 im pulling it from an autogenerated file from a 3rd party so no control over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken2k7 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 If expiry is *not* of a date type, that SQL is fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrevents Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 but the field is there i have pulled from it before. What I am needing is to sort in lets say the last 7 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickstart Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Echo out the SQL statement and check it really has what you want in it. Wouldn't surprise me if php is trying to use fields called $dateT and $timeZ, and getting rather confused. All the best Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Assuming that php correctly figures out '$dateT$timeZ' (you might need to do '{$date}T{$time}Z'), the h in date('h:i:s'); should be H to match the format of the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
