[RESOLVED] Validate a timestamp

Hey all,

I am currently working on a project that uses a UNIX timestamp to store a date in a database.

In the database the value is something like: 1177578000 - lets call this x

My question is, how can I use this value to do something like:

if(x < today's date){
dont show the results - only show dates today and in the future!
}

Any help appreciated on this, as I havn't yet got my head around the date/time format and how to implement it in this situation.

Regards.

if ($x < strtotime('today')) {
    // etc.
}

Thats great thanks for your response!

I have tried this out in the following way:

$today = strtotime(date("Y/m/d"));

SELECT * FROM calendardate WHERE x < $today

This executes, however it still brings up results from the past!!!!

Any more thoughts?

Thanks a bunch.

................................EDITED ok officially stupid, lol it should obviously be

$today = strtotime(date("Y/m/d"));

SELECT * FROM calendardate WHERE x > $today

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again mate.

Glad to help.

Why not just use "strtotime('today')" instead of "strtotime(date("Y/m/d"))"?
