Version: 1 | Requires: ColdFusion 5 | Library: DateLib

Rated 0 time(s). Average Rating: 0

Description:
Check if two dates refer to the same day. This is different from using the built-in function DateDiff("d") as it will only count whole days difference, whereas a difference of just a second could be the difference between one day and another.

Return Values:
Returns a boolean.

Example:

<cfoutput>
DifferentDay test:
#DifferentDay("{ts '2003-01-01 23:59:59'}","{ts '2003-01-02 00:00:00'}")#<br>
Compare to DateDiff:
#DateDiff("d","{ts '2003-01-01 23:59:59'}","{ts '2003-01-02 00:00:00'}")#
</cfoutput>

Parameters:

Name	Description	Required
date1	First date to check.	Yes
date2	Second date to check.	Yes
