Check if $date is equal to 0000-00-00 00:00:00



I want a logic if $due is equal to no date then I want data starting with 2000. My code below is not working.







if($due == '0000-00-00 00:00:00'){

$due = strtotime('2000-00-00 00:00:00');

}

  1. If you are storing strtotime() in $due, then you need to compare it like that, too

    if($due == strtotime('0000-00-00 00:00:00')){
    $due = strtotime('2000-00-00 00:00:00');
    }


    or, more simply

    if($due == 0){
    $due = strtotime('2000-00-00 00:00:00');
    }


    but if $due is coming from your db as a string, you would want to strtotime() it:

    $due = strtotime($due);
    if($due == 0){
    $due = strtotime('2000-00-00 00:00:00');
    }


    Be aware of timezones, though. That is, strtotime('0000-00-00 00:00:00 UTC') != strtotime('0000-00-00 00:00:00 EST'). This could also break your compare.

  2. You need to ensure that you are comparing the values in the same format. With what you currently have, on of three things will happen:


    If $due is an int, the string you are comparing it with 0000-00-00 00:00:00 will be converted to an int, which will result in 0, and $due will be compared with 0. This will only result in a match if $due === 0.
    If $due is a bool, the string will be converted to a bool, which will result in TRUE, and you will only get a match if $due === TRUE.
    If $due is any other type, it will be converted to a string and the two will be compared as strings. You will only get a match if $due === '0000-00-00 00:00:00'.


    If would say that you probably need to compare the values as integers. This means that you need to pass any strings through strtotime() - including $due, if it is a string. Since you do not show an example value of $due I cannot provide an exact working code.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
