Question

Okay, so I’m making an online text-based game, and I’m stuck right now with an on completion:

function....

    // I can't get this script to execute when I know the time has passed.

    $now = new DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
    $row_date = new DateTime($row["due_date"], new DateTimeZone('UTC'));

    if ($row_date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') <= $now->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')) 
    {
        mysql_query(".....")VALUES ("....")or die(mysql_error());
        mysql_query("DELETE FROM ......")or die(mysql_error());
    }
    else 
    {
        // The time has not come yet.
    }

This code is to be executed every 10 seconds with jQuery’s setInterval.

Answer 1

DateTime is compareable

if ($row_date <= new DateTime) { /* Do something */ }
