Dates Manipulation 1

[Alphabin]

Hi experts,

I'm working on something that will only display data in the "Last xx days" (Selected by user)

Here's what I have:

FYI:
$fields[14] is the string for the field in flat file that contains the date stamp in the following format: dd/mm/yyyy

$year,$mon,$mday is the current date

if ($input{'NoDays'}) {
my ($fld_day, $fld_mon, $fld_year) = split(/\//,$fields[14]);

if (($year-$fld_year==0) && ($mon-$fld_mon==0) && ($mday-$fld_day<=$input{'NoDays'})) {
push (@found_set,[@fields]) ;
  
 }
}

So if $input{NoDays} equals 5 (which is the Last 5 days) and the current date is 1/3/2004, well it's won't work because my statement is basically limited to the current month only.

Any input would be appreciated.

hmm, I juyst have to think something else is going on outside the scope of what you are showing. Like maybe this is in some sort of outer loop that is clobbering data etc.

Good luck.
