php Date Comaprisons的日期格式（'j F Y'）

Question

I have two dates:

$today = date('j F Y');
$display_until = date('j F Y');

($display_until technically comes from an ACF field date selector):

I'm currently using:

<?php if($today < $display_until) : ?>
    *where the magic should happen*
<?php endif; ?>

But it's not demarcating the events as expected ... can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

From the further explanation from your comments, you can use strtotime function of php to convert any date-like string to timestamp, and later you can pass this timestamp to date function to get the date back in your desired format.

Here is the code for that:

date('j F Y', strtotime('2017-05-01'));

if you want comparison, then:

if(strtotime('Jul 10, 2017') < strtotime('+10 days')) {
    // Your logic
}

You can also use newer DateTime object.
