compare time in format hh:mm

[blueman378]

Hi guys,

 

Is there a simple way to eg

 

if(18:30 > 07:30)

echo "correct";

 

obviously i know this wont work.

 

but is there a function to do it or will i have to explode it on : and then compare the hours, if they are equal then compare the minutes?

You should be able to use strtotime to convert them to a unix timestamp to compare. If that does not work properly, you can use the explode with mktime function to create a timestamp for comparison.

 

$time1 = strtotime("18:30");
$time2 = strtotime("07:30");

if ($time1 > $time2) 
    echo "Correct";
