Check if a given date is past

Question

I have a week calendar that holds events, and want that users can't add events for the past days. So I'm tring to use a function like that:

if( strtotime($this->day) < time() ){ // date format is YYYY-MM-DD
// date is past 
}else{   
// date is not past
}

It seems to works fine, except that it consider today date as a past day. What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Simpler ->

if(strtotime($this->day) < strtotime(date('Y-m-d')))
{
   ...
}
else
{
   ...
}
