Strtotime Issues

[BigEL]

I'm pretty new to PHP and so far i've written a function to echo the next game in a schedule. Problem is, I want to display "Today" if there is a game today. Currently if today's date = $today, nothing gets displayed . I've tried an elseif statement inside the foreach, but with no results.

 

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that be great. Thanks.

 

function next_game(){
$schedule = array(
'vs. team1 ' => strtotime('17 Dec 2012'),
'vs. team2 ' => strtotime('19 Dec 2012'),
'@team3 ' => strtotime('22 Dec 2012'),
'@team4 ' => strtotime('4 Jan 2012')
);


$today = time();// current timestamp[/background][/size][/font][/color]


foreach($schedule as $place => $date){
if($date > $today) {
echo date('M dS', $date)."<small>".$place."</small>";
break;
}
}
}

 

Output

Dec 23rd<small>@FGC </small>

What code did you try? I'm sure it just needs a small change to make it work.

 

[edit] Actually I can guess. $today will be this very second, not just "today". Everything in $schedule will be the same too: you didn't specify a time so one will get filled in for you. So rather than compare $date with $today, compare date("Y-m-d", $date) with date("Y-m-d", $today).

The variable $schedule exists only inside the function (read up on variable scope) so does not exist in the rest of your code.

 

Change your function to return the array.

today being 24th DEC, 2012, I changed your last date to 2013 and called your function

 

next_game(); //--> Jan 04th @team4
