PHP date comparison

Question

How would I check if a date in the format \"2008-02-16 12:59:57\" is less than 24 hours ago?

Answer 1

There should be you variable date Like

$date_value = "2013-09-12";
$Current_date = date("Y-m-d"); OR $current_date_time_stamp = time();

You can Compare both date after convert date into time-stamp so :

if(strtotime($current_date) >= strtotime($date_value)) {
 echo "current date is bigger then my date value";
}

OR

if($current_date_time_stamp >= strtotime($date_value)) {
 echo "current date is bigger then my date value";
}
