Is there a quick way to compare dates in the format dd/mm/yy without
exploding and comparing the individual parts?
Compare them in what way? Before, after, days between?
In any case, i'd look at strtotime() to convert them into timestamps, then
diff them to get the number of seconds b/n them,
have the user
comments.

Is it possible to pull that dates out as unix time stamps?
Then all you need to do is subtract one from the other, convert the results
to days/hours/minutes and Bob's your uncle.
If not, then you'll need to do some string manipulation to get the string
into a format that strtotime() understands a
$timestamp = time();
$yourdate="12:35:20:7:4:2001"; // 12:35:07 July 4 2001
$yd_expl = explode(':',$yourdate);
if
(mktime(0,0,0,strftime('%m',$timestamp),strftime('%d',$timestamp),strftime('%Y',$timestamp)
<
mktime($yd_expl [0],$yd_expl[1],$yd_expl[2],$yd_expl[3],$yd_expl[4],$yd_expl[5])
Absolutely you are doing in the right way:) But pls make sure that
string comparison is from left to right. For example, "16" is larger
than "15-12-01".

I'm trying to do a check on a date, to see if it's after the current date,
You are doing a string compare not date, convert them to a unix time stamp
and then compare
$d1 = explode("-",$date1);
$d2 = explode("-",$date2);
$ts1 = mktime(0,0,0,$d1[1],$d1[2],$d1[0]);
$ts2 = mktime(0,0,0,$d2[1],$d2[2],$d2[0]);
if( $ts1 > $ts2 ):
echo "Date 1 is greater than date2";
What are appropriate functions to do Date and Time comparison?
like:
Date difference
Date Comparison?
Adding 'n' days to current date string value, Removing 'n' month, etc.
Where can i find the date integer enconding used in PHP?
Like i know how it's done in Delphi (as stored as a Doub
If you _do_ want to use this method for comparing dates (which isn't
realy a usual way of doing it... there date-functions) you should
fill up with leading 0's, like:
$date1="2001-01-07"; $date2="2001-01-14";
The reason is _very_ simple... You performing a text-compare here.
And let's face it...
