PHP is date past due?
<p>Ok, I have a "due date" formatted like this: 08/31/2012 (M/D/Y). What I would like to do using PHP compare the returned string as shown against the current date. If the string above is older than the current date...execute some code. </p>

<p>I know this seems simple but it is throwing me for a loop. </p>

<p>thanks for any help!</p>
