$livedate = strtotime("October 06 2006 17:45"); // converts your date
to a unix timestamp
if (time() > $livedate) {
?>
content
<?
}
?>
strtotime() will convert just about any date format you can throw at
it, then they can be compared numerically. Convert them back with
date("r", $timestamp); You'll avoid having to worry about date formats
entirely.
