seemingly never ending date validation issue

[tet3828]

I am having endless problems with this date validation stuff. I just want to make sure the date entered is not greater than the current date...

 

$eYear = $_POST['eYear'];
$eMonth = $_POST['eMonth'];
$eDay = $_POST['eDay'];
$curDate = time();
$dateEnd=strtotime("$eYear-$eDay-$eMonth");	

if ( $dateStart > $curDate ) { // Show error}

 

works pretty well BUT if I enter today's date it performs the //show error code

which I think is odd because I Am stating if the entered date is Greater than the current date do this

 

NOT if the entered date is equal to or greater than the current date do this

 

help the confused!

strtotime does not understand yyyy-dd-mm (convert $dateEnd back into a date using the date() function and echo it to see if you get back what you started with.)

 

Use yyyy-mm-dd instead.
