comparing dates British style

[asgsoft]

Hey everyone!

 

This problem has been baffling me all day today.

 

I am trying to compare dates which are in the British format to see if they are bigger and/or smaller than todays date.

 

This is what I am using:

 

if($start <= date("d/m/Y") && $end >= date("d/m/Y")){
bla;
}

 

What this should do is compare and see if todays date falls between the $start and $end

 

Where am I going wrong?

convert them to unix timestamps and compare them
