problem with dates

[shiju nair]

hello ,
I am facing a problem when i am trying to get the difference between two dates which is been taken from datepicker.
now i am selecting two different dates with different month.for example
d1 dd/mm/yyyy = 12/09/2008
d2 dd/mm/yyyy = 2/10/2008

now i am getting this value in the text box through datepicker.so i am doing it like this to convert it ,

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
Date d1 = df.parse(datefrom);
Date d2 = df.parse(dateto);
 
long diff=d2.getTime()-d1.getTime();
long days=(long)(diff/(1000*60*60*24));
String days1 = new StringBuffer("").append(days).toString();
System.out.println(d1);
System.out.println(d2);

But the problem is that it is not taking the proper selected september and october month else it is showing as only january month for any selected month

Thu Jan 12 00:09:00 GMT+05:30 2008 for d1 
wed Jan 02 00:09:00 GMT+05:30 2008 for d2 

Please help me out.

Go through the API for SimpleDateFormat and see what "m" means.

Hi,

Use dd/MM/yyyy, means MM in capital, and try. Let me know how it works.
