Check if the date and time already past

[Anon]

Hi there,

How can I check if the date and time that the user selected in a form has already past? I tried but I can't do it.

I really appreciate if you can help me.

I seed mktime with the users date/time info and compare it to mktime().... That is pretty much the easiest way I know.

<?
$user_date = strtotime ($user_date);
$current_date = time ();

if ($user_date < $current_date) {
echo "This date is in the past";
}
?>
