[OpenLayers-Users] DATE Filter.Comparison

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

comparing dates is straightforward. The ISO date and dateTime formats used by WFS allow for alphanumeric sort, so you can use greater-than and less-than filters without any problems. You create the filter the same way you would for comparing strings, and for the values you use ISO date and dateTime strings:

For example:
2011-03-01Z (which is < 2011-04-01Z)
2011-03-24T09:12:12Z (which is < 2011-04-01Z00:00:00Z)

Regards,
Andreas.
