how to compare date?

Question

one i have taken in mysql another one i have taken in html..now how can i compare?
i m doing servlet

Answer 1

you would have to get date from html as string.
string Hdate = request.getParameter("date");
then get from db.
//not sure how to do that......
then compare, assuming they are in same format.
like if you used now() in mysql.
Hdate.equals(Mdate);

hope this helps
