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.

Hi guys! 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. I use the format YYYY-MM-DD in $date1 and I know how to retrieve the current date and set it in $dat2 But how do I know if $date1> $date2 ? I have looked around, but I havent found any easy solution. It seems to be a big deal? Is that the case? Best regards /Gustav Wiberg -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
