Date comparison

[rgermain]

My brain must be fried! I can't seem to find or remember how to do a date comparison.

Here is what is done and working fine:

pulling posted date and adding seven days to it.
getting current date

Now I tried writting the if statement like this:

if($currentDate >= $postedDate) 
{ 
echo "Match";
} 
else 
{ 
ehco "No match";
}

The Match and No Match are just for testing.
The above obviously doesn't work.
Thanks any for the help!

1. convert your posted date to timestemp.
2. compare them.

for converting it to timestemp use:
http://php.net/mktime
or
http://php.net/strtotime

this could work it depend on the format you post the date:

if( strtotime($currentDate) == strtotime($postedDat) )
     echo "Match";
else
     echo "Not";
