Re: [PHP] Date time Comparison

I'd agree with what Richard is alluding to: turn your two dates into
timestamps, and then compare those.  mktime() or strtotime() should
help you out.

 That said, as far as I can tell, your $formated_expiry_date is the
 SAME as your $expiry_date, except possibly for some separation
 characters.

 If the separation characters are ALWAYS the same, you could just do:

 $current_date = date('Y/m/d H:i:s'); //match formatting of expiry date.
 return $current_date  $expiry_date;
