Welcome to my ASP Code Website

DateDiff Date Function



With DateDiff, you can determine the difference between two dates. This lets you see how long it's been since someone last logged in and much more.

The format of the DateDiff function is

DateDiff(code, date1, date2)

Code comes from the table below and indicates what unit of time you are wanting the difference measured in:

CodeTime Span
yyyyYear
qQuarter
mMonth
yDay of year
dDay
wWeekday
wwWeek of year
hHour
nMinute
sSecond


The two dates are the dates which you will be comparing to each other

So to take today's date, a "Last Logon" date and see how many days it's been since your user logged onto your site, you would use:

DateDiff("d", LastLogon, Now())
