help with comparing dates


knowram

Recommended Posts

So I have this database with lots of info all time stamped with this format "May 15 2007  9:44AM".  What I would like to be able to specify a date range and have only entries that are in that date range be pulled from the table so that I can post the results. I know this must be possible but I have no idea host to even start.

 

Any and all ideas would be help full

 

Thanks allot

There may be better ways of doing it, but lately I've appreciated the function strtotime().  You could do something like:

 

<?php
  $start = strtotime("May 10 2007 8:00 AM");
  $end  = strtotime("May 31 2007 11:59 PM");

  if ((strtotime($db['timestamp']) >= $start) && (strtotime($db['timestamp']) <= $end))
      /* do stuff here */
?>
