compare dates

Hi, I get:

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in C:\xampp\htdocs\

from following code: I just want to determine "dayslate".
//---------

$dayslate = CURDATE() = DATE(duedate);

// $dayslate = DATE(NOW()) - DATE(duedate);
//---------
// QUERY ON tablename TABLE
$query = "SELECT dayslate,
--------------------------------

 

Hi. I think you are better asking on the Apache forum.
I have no experience with XAMPP, sorry.

I appreciate the response mate but the issue is(was) not related to localhost. the solution was(is):
$query = "SELECT acctno,.........DATEDIFF(CURDATE(), duedate) AS dayslate,.........

 

Yes I have been watching the replies on the other site.
Sorry I could not have been of more help.
