compare date

[bumbar]

Hallo!

How do i compare two date in YYYY-MM-DD format to determine which one is earlier?

That functioned but I am not certain be quite....

$datenow = date("Y-m-d");

  $dateold = "2008-03-24";


	if ($datenow > $dateold) {

		echo "The $dateold is early";

	} else if ($datenow == $dateold) {

		echo "The dates is equal";

	}

Thankx!

That (string comparisons) would work. It's one reason why the format is ISO standard.
