how to trap the time

[phpbigenner]

Hey guy's! I have a problem again on how to trap the time. example if the datestart is 08/12/2013 and the dateended is 08/13/2013. what should i do to display the movie until the time will 12:00 midnight.

 

//i trap already the date here
//datestart and dateended are strings
 
 <?php 
  $q = mysql_query("select * from movie "); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($q)){
 
if($row['dateended'] > date("m/d/Y")){ 
  
if($mid==$row['movieID'])
 
echo "<option selected value=$row[movieID]>$row[title]</title>";
 
else
 
echo "<option value=$row[movieID]>$row[title]</title>";
}else{}
}
 
?>
