 * Hi Michael,
 * I have this in the filter filter=”Available-From~~/.*$_POST(avail).*/i”]
    works
   great for an exact date match but is it possible to amend it so that any Available-
   From date greater than or equal to the input POST date is displayed please?

 * Try this:
    `filter="strtotime(Available-From)>=strtotime($_POST(avail))"`

 * Hi Michael,
    Tried that with no result returned also tried
 * [cfdb-table form=”Initial Application” filter=”strtotime(Available-From)>=strtotime(/.*
   $_POST(avail).*/i)”]
 * <form action=”.” method=”POST”>
    Date: <input type=”text” name=”avail” />(yyyy-
   mm-dd) <input type=”submit” /> </form>
 * with again no return, the date entries in the database are in yyyy-mm-dd format
   and when entering a date in POST of 2017-04-01 I expect the data from an entry
   in the database with an Available-From date of 2017-04-03 to be returned. FYI
   this shortcode and form is in a page of a WP site.
 * Sorry to be a pain

 * Set the filter to exactly how I wrote it. Yours is different.

 * Sorry Michael, exactly as you wrote it
 * [cfdb-table form=”Initial Application” filter=”strtotime(Available-From)>=strtotime(
   $_POST(avail))”]
 * no result returned from a POST date of 2017-04-01

 * Yaay got it to work like this
 * [insert_php]
    if (isset($_POST[‘avail’])){ echo do_shortcode(‘[cfdb-table form
   =”Initial Application” filter=”strtotime(Available-From) >= strtotime($_POST(
   avail))”]’); } [/insert_php]

 * Great plugin and some great flexibility Michael, I do have a question though,
   why did you decide to use an array of arrays for cfdb instead of sql rows? Just
   curious.
