Future or Past

I need a script that can tell me if the date is in the future or in the past.

My date varibles are as follows.

$day = day (eg. 11)
$month = month (eg. 4)
$year = year (eg. 2008)

If so then the varible

$status Would then equal past

Or

$day = day (eg. 1)
$month = month (eg. 10)
$year = year (eg. 20190)

$status Would then equal future


Thanks, I have already had a go and failed Sad

Code:
$day = date(j);
$month = date(n);
$year = date(o);

I think you can get it from there.

i have tryed that i had like loads of if's for like if the month is bigger but the year is less or month is less and so is the year and as well as loads of them you have the day

Try this:
Code:
<?php
$day = date(j); // current server day
$month = date(n); // current server month
$year = date(o); // current server year

$day2 = 29; // some imput for day
$month2 = 4; // some imput for month
$year2 = 2008; // some imput for year

if($year2 > $year) {
   $msg = "You are in the future!";
} elseif ($year2 < $year) {
   $msg = "You are in the past!";
} else {
   if($month2 > $month) {
      $msg = "You are in the future!";
   } elseif ($month2 < $month) {
      $msg = "You are in the past!";
   } else {
      if($day2 > $day) {
         $msg = "You are in the future!";
      } elseif ($day2 < $day) {
         $msg = "You are in the past!";
      } else {
         $msg = "You are in the NOW!";
      }
   }
}
echo $msg;
?>

THanks for you reply.

I found a site on google and edited it so i could get it to work for me.

Code:
function dateworkout($date) {
$dateN = explode("/", $date);
$dateString = $dateN[2] . "-" . $dateN[1] . "-" . $dateN[0];
if(strtotime($dateString) > time()) {
$status = "future";
}else if(date("Y-n-j", time()) == $dateString) {
$status = "now";
}else if(strtotime($dateString) < time()) {
$status = "past";
}
return $status;
}


So
Code:
<?
echo dateworkout("11/4/1991");
?>


would echo "past"

Thanks for your help sonam Smile
