How do I compare a time written in this format with the current time

  • 0

How do I compare a time written in this format with the current time to see if this exact moment has happened yet (It’s for a countdown timer), but the time must be in this format:

12/31/2012 5:00 AM UTC-0500

Ultimately I want to say if the current time is less than that date, display this, otherwise, display this.

    strtotime can convert string dates to unix timestamp which you can easily use later for comparisons/etc

    $timestamp = strtotime("12/31/2012 5:00 AM UTC-0500");
    if (time() > $timestamp)
    ...
