Compare DATETIME column date with current date in PHP?
<p>I have a DATETIME column that stores values such as:</p>

<p>2012-05-20 14:00:00</p>

<p>How do I compare the date in <code>$row['Date']</code> with current date (time is not important) to see if it's older than today?</p>

<pre><code>if($row['Date'] &lt; ...) {
echo 'date has passed'
}
</code></pre>
