Question

$result= db_query("SELECT dayoff FROM specificdayoff");
$node->frmdate = mktime(0,0,0, $node->frmdate['month'], $node->frmdate['day'],$node->frmdate['year']);
$node->todate = mktime(0,0,0, $node->todate['month'], $node->todate['day'],$node->todate['year']);
$node->dayoff = mktime(0,0,0, $node->dayoff['month'], $node->dayoff['day'],$node->dayoff['year']);
$data = $node->dayoff;
$frmdate = $node->frmdate;
$todate = $node->todate;    

$iii=0;
while($frmdate!=$todate)
{
    while($data= db_fetch_object($result))
    {
        if($frmdate==$data)
        {
            $iii++;
           //debug
        }

    }
    $frmdate=mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m", $frmdate), date("d", $frmdate)+1, date("Y", $frmdate));
    //debug2     
   }
$diff=$iii

I need every element of $frmdate to be compared with all element of $data. but when I run this code, $diff keep returning 0. meaning to say, there’s something wrong with my if statement, but I can’t seem to figure out what is wrong with it.

when I debug this block of code, both while loop did not run as i want it. the 2nd while loop only run once. I need the 2nd while loop to be run every time 1st while loop is running. any help?

the debug run like this:
debug
debug
debug
debug2
debug2
debug2

i need it to run like this:
debug
debug
debug
debug2
debug
debug
debug
debug2
debug
debug
debug
debug2

I get the feeling you have a timestamp in your specificdayoff table. If this is the case, then your db_fetch_object method will retrieve an object that has dayoff property.

To access this you would use $data->dayoff. So you need to change the condition of the if($frmdate==$data) to if($frmdata == $data->dayoff)

This is all a guess without knowing exactly what your db_fetch_object will return. That said, I still don’t follow exactly what is supposed to be happening here, and this may just be one of a few problems you have.
