How can I compare two dates with PHP, to see if one date occurred before the other? Convert them to a timestamps (strtotime()), then just compare them:

$date1 = 'september 10th 2003'; $date2 = 'september 20th 2003'; $date1_ts = strtotime($date1); $date2_ts = strtotime($date2); if($date1_ts < $date2_ts){

    echo 'Date 1 is before date 2.';

}else{

    echo 'Date 2 is before date 1.';
