String to date function

[gerkintrigg]

Hello all.

I'm trying to use another person's javascript (I hate other peoples code normally)... It's a popup calendar that outputs to a string like this:

DD/MM/YYYY

My question is this:

What's the easiest way of checking whether field 1 (in the format above) is before field 2 (also in the same format) using PHP's date functions?

 

Is there an easy way of PHP asking: "if field one !< field 2 do this{ blah }"

 

Thanks everyone!

Look into strtotime(). Then you can compare the results.
