Hi Hugh and Richard,

My apologies Richard - I did get an email from you back on the 31st of  
March asking if the bug persists and it does.

I posted bug 722470 along with bug 422475 (they both relate to the TO  
and FROM date problem).

I can confirm that we use PHP version 5.2.6. I'd be reluctant to  
upgrade this to 5.3 simply because we also run quite a significant  
installation of Moodle and I am not sure what side effects might come  
about. Are you able to provide any feedback on this?

I have tested it on demo.mahara.org and it does seem to work there so  
you may well have hit the nail on the head about the cause of the  
problem.

However, bug 722475 is still a problem on demo.mahara.org. I'll reply  
to that bug shortly using the link specifically for that bug.

Thanks,

Anthony

  SunOS java 5.11
  PHP 5.2.6
  MySQL

  When you go to EDIT ACCESS for a particular View and add any of the following:

  - Logged In Users
  - Friends
  - Secret URL
  - A particular individual

  AND include a FROM and TO Date where the FROM date IS before the TO
