[SOLVED] time comparison

[moon14]

hello

 

i have the following condition inside an if but something is wrong because i get different output from what i expect

i'm comparing a database table record fields with a user input datathe

 

the database table record fields representing a busy slot are saved into variables as follows:

$UnSlotDay: the day name

$UnSlotStartTime: busy slot start time

$UnSlotEndTime: busy slot end time

 

the user input for a new slot is:

$Day: the day name

$EndTime: new slot end time

$StartTime: new slot start time

 

if (($Day == $UnSlotDay) && (($EndTime<=$UnSlotStartTime) || ($StartTime>=$UnSlotEndTime)))
            echo "OK";
         else
            echo "Not OK";

 

if the busy slot is on Monday from 09:00:00 to 11:00:00, and the the new slot is also on Monday from 11:00 to 12:00

I get the message "Not OK".

 

Is it because the user input in hh:mm format and the busy slot is in hh:mm:ss ???

pls help me

It's best to use timestamps for this.  Take a look at http://php.net/strtotime and http://php.net/time.
