    <p>I am using a datepicker to store a unix / PHP timestamp that is selected by the user.</p> <p>I just noticed that in my attempt to print <code>$current_date</code> and compare it against <code>$_date_compare</code> ... FYI this is WordPress code, but the problem is not related to WordPress.</p> <p>So, that being said here's the snippet of relevant code:</p> <pre><code>$current_date = date('ymd'); $recentPosts = new WP_Query(); $recentPosts-&gt;query(array( 'category_name' =&gt; 'events', 'meta_key' =&gt; '_date_compare', 'meta_compare' =&gt; '&gt;=', 'meta_value' =&gt; $current_date, 'orderby' =&gt; 'meta_value', 'order' =&gt; 'ASC', 'posts_per_page' =&gt; 99 )); </code></pre> <p>For some reason, the result for Jan 01, 2005 is printing 50101 (leaving out the leading zero, which confuses me since I am using <code>date('ymd');</code> format for the date. </p> <p>Nevertheless, after some careful thought I realized that this is a non-issue. I'm trying to sort all events that have a HIGHER value than <code>$current_date</code>, yet the query is returning the Jan 01 2005 date in the HIGHER than <code>$current_date</code> query.</p> <p>At the time of this writing, today is <strong>110523</strong> in <code>date('ymd')</code> format. Why is <strong>50101</strong> being returned in my query that is checking for values that are <strong>higher</strong> than 110523?!</p> <p><em><strong>EDIT</em></strong> You can view the problem here: <a href="http://anasmadance.com/past-events-2/" rel="nofollow">http://anasmadance.com/past-events-2/</a> - The numbers printed just above the boxes are meant to be <code>ymd</code> formatted dates, which are correct for the early dates, but incorrect for the ones at the bottom of the page (which should be omitted from the query since they are past and therefore less than the value they are compared against)</p>

    2. COPHP may be casting to a numeric value and trimming the leading zero, but in an example, it doesn't seem to do this automatically. http://codepad.org/ePpg7Cuf

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.
