I’m using Ditto to help me with some scheduling app;
How would I limit the Ditto results to todays date? (today being dynamic)
Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the fast reply. I’m not sure though how to take that information and translate it to today’s date. I’m a bit of a noob here so bare with me.
To summaraize I want to filter my Ditto results for pages that have a TV (CalStart & CalEnd) equal to today.
My thinking is that I have to create a snippet to find todays date, format it for UNIXTIME and then throw that into a Ditto filter?
If the value of the TV is something like:
20-05-2009 14:15:00
Do I need to parse that to find out if it’s todays date? Or in other words do I need to worry about the time assocaited? Ideally I’d want the ditto call to sort based on the full date/time TV. Is this possible? Am I on the right track? Once I get back to the office I’ll start messing more with the info in the last post, and again thanks for the speedy reply.

Month
<?php
// get the current time and apply the offset
$timestamp = time() + date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
// Set the current month
$month = date('m',$timestamp);
print $month;
?>
Day
<?php
// get the current time and apply the offset
$timestamp = time() + date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
// Set the current day
$day = date('d',$timestamp);
print $day;
