I created a program that allows u to type in the date and then when u click submit it should say whether the date u typed matches the CURRENT DATE (so the date updates itself) anyways, i am not so good at php and this is what i could make: whats the problem and can u demonstrate how to fix it.
<?php
session_start();
$EntryError="";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
$entrydate = "";
$errorOccured = false;
if (isset($_POST['tsmdate'])){
$entrydate = trim($_POST['tsmdate']);
if (strlen($entrydate) == 0){
$EntryError = "date is missing";
$errorOccured = true;
}
}
else{
$EntryError = "date is missing";
}
}
$presentDate=date('Y-m-d');
if($date==$presentDate)
{
echo "same date";
}
else{
echo "different date";
}
?>
