Question

I would like to compare the two dates ,one date is which the 02 aug 1921 , and the second date is present date.How to compare the old date and present date day and month .if

Answer 1

Probably the most straight forward way is strtotime and date.

$date1 = '1 Aug 2012';
$date2 = '1 Aug 1912';
if (date('m-d', strtotime($date1)) === date('m-d', strtotime($date2)) {

}

Answer 2

Why don't you split the dates into year, month and day? and then:

if (($month1 == $month2) && ($day1 == $day2)) {
  echo 'hi';
}

Answer 3

If you are on PHP 5.3 you can use the new DateTime class:

$oDate1 = new DateTime( $datetime1 );
$oDate2 = new DateTime( $datetime2 );

if( $oDate1->format('m-d') == $oDate2->format('m-d')
  echo 'yes';
