Working with Dates and Times

[Pip]

Hi everyone!

Prolly this is the most noobest question.

But how do you work on date times in Processwire templates?

I've been working on one that will check if it's the current day and not over a certain time.

PHP wise it's easy. But on a Processwire template, it spits out as an error.

$wholedatetime = DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone('Asia/Singapore') );
$currentdate =  $wholedatetime->format('Y/m/d');
$currenttime =  $wholedatetime->format('H');
	echo $page->batchdate;
if ($currentdate != $page->batchdate) {
	if ($currenttime < 23) {	
		$formflag = 2;
	}
}

Help!

Have a look at the API docs for the $datetime variable (https://processwire.com/api/ref/wire-date-time/).

Just insert the date form PW page as argument and convert it to the format you like.

I misunderstood the documentation! Got it working now. Thanks a ton!
