Syntax error Comparing two dates in PHP

Comparing two dates in PHP

To compare two dates in PHP, the code is as follows. Here, we have used the equality operator to compare dates −

Example

 Live Demo

<?php
   $dateOne = "2019-10-30";
   $dateTwo = "2019-10-30";
   echo "Date1 = $dateOne";
   echo "
Date2 = $dateTwo";
   if ($dateOne == $dateTwo)
      echo "
Both the dates are equal!";
   else
      echo "Both the dates are different!";
?>

Output

This will produce the following output−

Date1 = 2019-10-30
Date2 = 2019-10-30
Both the dates are equal!

Example

Let us now see another example−

 Live Demo

<?php
   $dateOne = "2019-11-08";
   $dateTwo = "2018-08-10";
   echo "Date1 = $dateOne";
   echo "
Date2 = $dateTwo";
   if ($dateOne < $dateTwo)
      echo "
DateTwo is the latest date!";
   else
      echo "
DateOne is the latest date!";
?>

Output

This will produce the following output−

Date1 = 2019-11-08
Date2 = 2018-08-10
DateOne is the latest date!
