Re^2: if && condition not working

Thanks for replying Anonymous Monk. Yes, my data is right. I printed it out. Also, if I use if condition without the &&, it works. I am totally confused. Here is what worked:

sub validate_date {

        my $start_date = $_[0];
        my $end_date = $_[1];
        my $today_date = $_[2];
        my @start_date_array = split(/\//, $start_date);
        my @end_date_array = split(/\//, $end_date);
        my @today_date_array = split(/\//, $today_date);
        my $error_msg = "";
        if (!$start_date || !$end_date){
        $error_msg = "Blank Field in Date field. Please Use Browser Ba
+ck button and Enter Date Field"};
#       if ( (@start_date_array[0] > @today_date_array[0]) && (@start_
+date_array[1] > @today_date_array[1]) && (@start_date_array[2] > @tod
+ay_date_array[2])) {
        if  (@start_date_array[0] > @today_date_array[0]) {
        $error_msg = "Start Date can not be a Future Date. Please Use 
+Browser Back button and Enter Start Date"};
        if ( (@end_date_array[0] > @today_date_array[0]) && (@end_date
+_array[1] > @today_date_array[1]) && (@end_date_array[2] > @today_dat
+e_array[2])) {
        $error_msg = "End Date can not be a Future Date. Please Use Br
+owser Back button and Enter End Date"};
        return $error_msg;

}

The request was not if your data is properly formatted. The request was to show us examples, so we know what to feed into the subroutine to test it. How are your dates formatted? Is it month/day/year, day/month/year, year/month/day? Is January represented by "1" or "01"? This information is very significant for showing you how your code is incorrect.	[reply]
