I'm creating a validation class and I have a method to validate dates. When I am going to validate based on now , strtotime calculates including hour.

$v->rule( '07/28/2014' , 'before.2014' ) this rule only validates the year
$v->rule( '07/28/2014' , 'before.now' ) this rule validates the date M.D.Y

For the 1st case the comparison is:% strtotime( '2014' ) < strtotime( '2014' )

For the 2nd case the comparison is:% strtotime( '07/28/2014' ) < strtotime( '07/28/2014 17:59:46' )

The result is false and true . I should add H:i:s when comparing 07/28/2014, or use strtotime( date( 'm/d/Y' ) ) or other alternative to now .

In PHP you have the warning, about now , but here the time is normal

In PHP 5 higher than 5.0.2, "now" and other relative times are erroneously computed for midnight of the day. Unlike other versions where it is correctly computed from the current time.

A good option is to use the 'DateTime' object of php link

Example

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', '28/07/2014');

Note: This function is present from version 5.3 of PHP

Remember that when you omit the time it takes the current time
