Using Comparison Operators with Time
I have a table data and I want to change it's font-color: green when on time and font-color: red when late (08:00 and 12:00 respectively).
I have this chunk of code but it only changes the font-color to green even when the $data->login is greater than 08:00.
data->login is in datetime format
<td style="color: <?php $format = 'H:i';
$start='08:00';
$end='12:00';
$login=DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $data->login);
$min=DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $start);
$max=DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $end);
if($login <= $min){echo 'green';}elseif($login > $min){echo 'red'; } ?>">
<b><?php $date = date_create($data->login); echo date_format($date, "h:i A - M. d") ?></b></td>

@Snapey I'm gonna use $max to determine who logged out too early. I'll do that one after finishing this.
Even if it's over 12:00 it still turns green.

That is some really ugly HTML; why are you writing all of the PHP within an inline style attribute? What does $data->login look like? What is the purpose of creating the $min and $max variables if you chose instead to use the strings $start and $end for comparison? Is this a Laravel project?

@tykus honestly i think so too. I'm self-taught so codes are just messy.
$data is from a select all query
About $min and $max, I was trying out stuff, forgot to revert it back.

@j_watson that doesn't answer the about the nature of login - can you show an example of this piece of data?

what format is $data->login ?
You use it inconsistently

@Snapey $data is my collection, $login is in datetime format
Level 122
<td style="{{ Carbon\Carbon::parse($data->login)->hour() < 8 ? 'green' : 'red'}}" >
<strong>{{ Carbon\Carbon::parse($data->login)->format('h:i A - M. d') }}</strong>
Level 2
@Snapey it says Object of class Carbon\Carbon could not be converted to int
Level 104
@j_watson it should be hour, not hour()
Carbon\Carbon::parse($data->login)->hour < 8

@tykus thanks. I was in bed at the time, looking on my ipad and couldn't summon the energy to dig through the awful Carbon docs
