I have an string of datetime and i want to convert it into datetime format and check it who is greater?

my variables:

$d1 = '2016-02-02 07:35:00';
$d2 = '2016-02-1 13:10:31';

and I want to check who is greater between above two variables.

if($d1>$d2)
{
return true;
}

Answer 1

There are comparison operators for the DateTime class in php . Something like this :

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

$d1 = new DateTime('2008-08-03 14:52:10');
$d2 = new DateTime('2008-01-03 11:11:10');
var_dump($d1 == $d2);
var_dump($d1 > $d2);
var_dump($d1 < $d2);

Output

bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
