Subject: [PHP-DB] CONVERT STRING VARIABLES TO DATES, THEN COMPARE (HOW?)

Apache on NT using MS SQL Srvr 2000
PHP 4.03pl1
 
I return these dates into strings and now I want to compare my database date
to see if it is later than today's date. Pretty sure my "Expires" field is a
string:
 
Here is the "Expires" field from the SQL:
Convert(varchar, DATEADD(Year,3,DateCertified),101) AS Expires
 
Here is my PHP code trying to compare dates:
 
$today = date("m/d/Y");
 
   If ($today < odbc_result($data,"Expires"))
    {
     echo "<br><br>License has expired<br><br>";
    }
   Else
    {
     echo "<br><br>License has not expired<br><br>";
    }
 
Sure could use a simple solution to a simple problem that has me simply
confounded.
