[SOLVED] Comparing Dates

[Daleeburg]

I am attempting to make a way so that my users have to be 13 years old in order to register, is there any easy way to do this, or am i coding 3 if else statements to compare current day and current month, and current year to the posted y/m/d?

I think this should work

 

<?php

//$date must be in month/day/year format

if(strtotime($date) > strtotime("-13 years"))
echo "You are older than 13";
else
echo "You are not older than 13";

?>

the input needs to be in MM/DD/YYYY or can it be M/D/YYYY?

It's the same...

note to self, smaller dates are older, so all i had to to was flip around the great then to a less then, and now it works.

 

 

thanks,
