$date1 larger then current date?

Hi guys!

=20
I'm searching for what I thought would be an easy issue comparing dates. I =
just want to know if a date in variable
$date1 is larger then current date.=20
=20
I use the format YYYY-MM-DD in $date1
and I know how to retrieve the current date and set it in $dat2
=20
But how do I know if $date1> $date2 ?
=20
I have looked around, but I havent found any easy solution. It seems to be =
a big deal? Is that the case?
=20

Best regards

Re: $date1 larger then current date?

Try:

if ($date1 > $date2) {
echo "First date is a later one than Second date";
} else {
echo "Second date is the latest.";
}

It's just as easy as you thought it'd be.

if (mktime(0,0,0,substr($date1,5,2),substr($date1,8,2),substr($ date1,0,4)) > time() ) // if $date1 > server time
{
//do stuff
}

I have a few conversions that I use. Our server stores all dates in YYYYMMDD (as int) format, so I've got a few handy functions (OsDateToTimestamp(OsDate) and TimestampToOsDate(Timestamp)) that seem to get called a LOT.
