PHP How to compare date and date?

Question

I have this value from database:

\'2009-1-1 00:00:00\', okay, let me paste my code:

$fetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$db_value = $fetch[\'date\']         


        

Answer 1

You should use the second one, because your db result is a string so it can't be used like that.

Answer 2

Probably , you can get the epoch value of the date using mktime function , then you could

compare the date's times stamp values easily . before that you parse first date string

into year, month , day , hours, minutes , seconds. then use mktime function
