Date in the past

hello all,

I'm currently storing $lastLogin as

date('n/j/Y');

and I need to see if last login was 6 months ago, which would be

mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n")-6, date("j"), date("Y"));

My question is, how do I break up the $lastLogin to see if $lastLogin was greater than 6 months ago. I'm guessing I can strstr it, but I think I will run into conflict with the years rolling over.

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks,
ziggy

// $arrLogin[0] = n, $arrLogin[1] = j, $arrLogin[2] = Y in $lastLogin
$arrLogin = explode('/', $lastLogin);

// Compare both timestamps to see if $loastLogin timestamp is greater than 6 months ago timestamp
if (mktime(0, 0, 0, $arrLogin[0], $arrLogin[1], $arrLogin[2]) > mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n")-6, date("j"), date("Y")))
echo "Last Login is greater than 6 months ago";
else
echo "Last Login is less than or equal to 6 months ago";

Thanks a ton,
