How to I ensure a variable date is not in the past, compared to the
current date? Here's how I'm trying, unsuccessfully:

$nextdate = "8/2/2009";

if(strtotime($nextdate)<=getdate()){

	echo "Sorry, your next evaluation date cannot be in the past,
Click BACK to continue.";
	exit;

}

David:

Try to understand what strtotime() does and you'll get your answer.

Function returns the number of seconds from January 1, 1970 to the date you enter. If the number of seconds are less than the current date, then the entry is past.

Understand?
