Calculating time values in PHP

[Mattias Robo]

In SQL you can calulate field entries with type set as date like this: '17:59'<'18:00' (=true).

Is it possible to do the same in PHP using some sort of date-format?

[Mattias Robo]

What do you know..

I just tried plain and simple: date("17:59") < date("18:00") and heck, it worked!

Hi Mattias,
the date function of php is quite powerful.
After one forgets things, if he doesnt use them, I allways have a link to the php manual at my desktop.
In some projects you need more of this section, in others other parts. And php is so vast, that it is hardly possible to know all commands with its parameters.

Yeah it's huge. Very obvious when you compare native array functions in AS and PHP.
I find it easiest to use Google. Just by typing "php [function]" I always get to the right place at php.net.

cheers

I think you found a new playgound
If you found how easy php goes together with asp via AMFPHP, you will never want to be without.
