If date older than deadline then...

[9kolaj]

Hi,

I have the following code:

if ($date1 > $deadline or $date2 > $deadline) {

echo "older";

}
else {
echo "good";
}

---

Where
date1 = 2009-09-20 10:00:00
date2 = 2009-09-29 10:00:00 or sometimes 0000-00-00 00:00:00 depending on whether the user has changed the submitted input or not
deadline = 2009-09-25 10:00:00

My problem is that in some cases my date 2 has no data entered so it is actually 0000-00-00 00:00:00

How can I take this into account so I ignore the validation of date2 if its 0000-00-00 00:00:00???

Thank you

I just tried to test again and apparently if

date1 older than (>) deadline and
date 2 = 0000-00-00 00:00:00

Then it results in "good" and not "older" which I would suspect...

I found a solution - apparently I had some errors in { and} in my bit more complex code
