Urgent Help need on php date comparison!

Hai folks,

my date comparison does not work. pls help!

<?php
echo date("Y/m/d");
//above code Shows 2012/02/29 at the time of running this script. 
//pls keep in mind and kindly look at my below code.

$date=strtotime("+5 days");
$udate="2012/3/5"; // user entered date
list($y,$m,$d) = explode('/', $udate);
$udate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y);
if ($date==$udate){
   echo "yes";
}else{
   echo "no";
}
?>

PHP:

result shows 'no'.

* this month is february and finishes in 29

 

ooops, i just noticed that the counter is increasing every second. so now i think this code may be correct folks

<?php
//echo date("Y/m/d"); // SOWS 2012/02/29 at the time of running this script

$date=strtotime("+5 days");
$udate="2012/3/6";
list($y,$m,$d) = explode('/', $udate);
$udate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y);
//echo $date . "-" . $udate . "<br>";
echo $udate-$date;
if ((($udate-$date) > 24*60*60) || (($udate-$date) < 0))  { //24*60*60 is the num of seconds in a day
   echo "no";
}else{
   echo "yes";
}
?>

EDIT: Should have refreshed before responding....

Well, you are not getting hours minutes and seconds..

the

$date = strtotime("+5 days");

PHP:

gives you a timestamp with hours, minutes and seconds.. looks somthing like thsi
1330949208

while the

$udate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y);

PHP:

gives you something like this
1330902000

Since you are not working with hours, mins and seconds I suggest you deduct them from the $date.... I don't know how to do that, since I don't work much with dates, but I bet you can make it

 

thanks buddy, yes ur correct
I think i made it now in my post #2
