You might try converting these dates to Unix time and then compare the
numbers as integers.
Let's see, here is a function that converts the data from a MySQL date field
to a Unix timestamp...
function mysql_to_epoch ($datestr)
{
list($year,$month,$day,$hour,$minute,$second) =
split("([^0-9])",$datestr);
return date("U",mktime($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year));
}
And here is where I use it to calculate the age of the item in the database.
$epochTime = mysql_to_epoch($messageCreated);
$currentEpochTime = time();
$ageInSeconds = $currentEpochTime - $epochTime;
I hope this provides a clue for your application.
