Hello.
I searched google and found:
Try this one

[mschroeder]

Using php 5.2.2+ this is a piece of cake.

<?php
$date1 = new DateTime('2010-12-07');
$date2 = new DateTime('2010-12-07');

if( $date1 == $date2 ){
  echo 'Dates are equal.';
}

http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php scroll down to example #2 for some examples.
