Comparing to times in a IF Statement

Anon

I Have a If statement that compares a time "9:00-11:00" passed from a previous page and compares it to what is allready in the database... The method works with the other text fields... but gives a parse error on determing the status of wheter A is equla to B..

this is the function..

function verify($orig,$curr,$field) {
if ($curr != $orig) {
PRINT "$field Has Changed \n
<dl>\n
<dt>Original\n
<dd>$orig\n
<dt>Current Changes\n
<dd>$curr\n
</dl>\n
";
}
}

here is the call..

verify($jd_hours1, $jd_hours, Hours AM);

My instincts tell me that it has something to due with the fact the times are intergers.. or possibly the ":"on "-" in the time.

Any ideas...

Since the variables you are using have : and or - in them they aren't integers any more, they are strings. And the standard math operaterst don't work with strings very well. I'd suggest that you use strcmp().

Thanks for the info Rob... Come to find out the problem was in the Call to the function... the last argument (hours am) was causing a parse error because the argument was not enclosed in ''.... Thanks Again..!

I saw that, but I just thought it was a typo from when you were entering your question.
