DateObject and Nulls

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi all,

I have an array mapped to a value object. One of the items in the array is a PHP DateObject, and I need to format this field appropriately.

When looping through the array, I pass this field to a function as follows: (simplified for expendiency)
Code: [Select]if (!is_null($date))
{
return date_format($date, "Y-m-d");
}
This works great, except for the case when the DateObject contains a null value - in this case the above function seems to always return the current date.

I am guessing that this is because $date is not really null (i.e. it contains an object, even though the object is null), but I am not sure how to get around this.

Any help greatly appreciated.
