Compare dates input

[Anon]

Can someone help?

I have a form with date field1 and date field2. How can i get PHP to compare the dates input field1 >=today()
field2 >=+1day of today()

you probably want to get both dates into timestamp format, using the mktime() function. then you can compare them with the current timestamp, which you can get from the time() function. adding one day to the current timestamp would just mean adding 24 hours' worth of seconds, with consideration for daylight savings time if need be.

$date1 = mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $mo, $day, $year);

$now = time();

if ($date1 >= $now)
{
...
}

But my drop down menu consist of 3 parts of dates which interface with Mysql i.e.
Name of field=
outYear
outMonth
outDay

you put it $date1 = mktime()
do you mean
$outYear-$outMonth-$outDay= mktime()
