I am trying to compare times and I'm not entirely sure the best way to handle this. I have an array of times that is un-able to edit. array("500", "1100", "1700", "2300"); 500 = 5:00am etc... If it is 6 or 7am, what kind of logic can I run to find out if it is 7am, what time is closer 5am or 10am? I don't think it's complex, but i'm just trying to figure out a decent solution vs. me trying to hack something together. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

1. COThe math becomes more interesting for values `"0550", "0615"` - which is closer to 6:00? I would recommend first normalizing to a fractional unit - e.g. 5:50 is 5.83 - if it's only needing to see which is closer ..

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
