Auto delete row after event date has passed

Recommended Posts

I have a table i am using to pull event information from to list upcoming events. Among others the table contains a 'startdate' and 'enddate' column (allowing for multiple day events). With each event being a new row. I was thinking something allong the lines of: IF currentdate > enddate DELETE row... But I am new to PHP so I have no idea how to script this part of the event manager. Any and all help would be appreciated.

It's a MySQL date function. It returns the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

If you need a unix timestamp, use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() instead.
