Shortest way to compare 2 dates in dd/mm/yyyy format
<p>can anyone suggest the neatest way to do this comparison? I need to test if a date provided in dd/mm/yyyy format is less than a fixed date, e.g 01/05/2009 - I know I can convert these to unix time format using strtotime, then make the comparison, but I'm curious if there is a quicker way to do it - many thanks, just looking for a hint to improve my code! </p>
