I’m making an event listing and trying to compare 2 custom date fields. One is for event start (event_start), the other for end(event_end). What I’m trying to do is compare the value to see if they are the same day and if so to change the event_end formatting to omit the day and date. I have this but it’s probably not even close:

I couldn’t find a reference for comparing the value of two fields in the documentation and I figure the date thing is making it more complex.

Thanks.

Thanks, I replaced the code but for some reason I’m getting this error now:

Are you using PHP on this page?

Yes, PHP on output. Also, I saw it should have been:

where you had event_end compared to itself.

I’m still getting an error, but now it says:

Would PHP being on be causing this?

Duh, my mistake, please try again. The correct code should’ve been:

Perfect! If anybody wants the final code, it is:

Thanks so much!

My pleasure
