Date Woes

Hi guys,

Trying to parse a date from a known dat to compare with current date:


$next_birthday = '2007-08-08';
mktime(date('g'),date('i'),date('s'),date('m',time($next_birthday)),date('j',time($next_birthday)),d ate('Y',time($next_birthday)));

The if else script is returning the current mktime and not the date's mktime.

Any help appreciated.

Ever thought about strtotime (http://www.php.net/strtotime) or are you wanting to convert the date to an integer yourself? Also, you might try date_parse (http://www.php.net/date_parse). It takes a string containing a date and returns an array with the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, fraction of a second, warning count, warnings (a nested array), error count and errors (a nested array) as well as an is_localtime boolean value. On failure to parse properly, the function returns FALSE.

I recommend trying it out.

$next_birthday = '2007-08-08';
if(date('Y-m-d') == $next_birthday)
{
// happy birthday
}
else
{
// back to work
}

$next_birthday = '2007-08-08';
if(date('Y-m-d') == $next_birthday)
{
// happy birthday
}
else
{
// back to work
}

You don't have to work on your birthday? You are lucky...
