Logic in comparing 2 dates in php

Question

I just want to ask, i have 3 dates, the date today, the date_of_needed and the other date which is 2 weeks ahead, i have this code:

$DateNeeded = $this->input->post('date_of_need');
$newDate = date("m-d-y",strtotime("+2 weeks"));
$d = $this->input->post('dateavail');

When I echo those 3 dates i come up with this:

Date Needed: 9/12/16
Date to be Reserved: 9/24/16
Date Today: 9/10/16

I want to have a logic that will make me unavailable to reserve a products if it is less than 2 weeks. How will i do that? Here is my logic

if($DateNeeded < $newDate){
   echo "You need to reserve 2 weeks ahead!";
}

But it isnt working.. Thank you for helping me

You can compare the 2 dates with strtotime. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8722806/how-to-compare-two-dates-in-php — Caique Castro Soares da Silva, Sep 10 '16 at 03:40

try this

$DateNeeded = strtotime($$DateNeeded);
$newDate = date("m-d-y",strtotime("+2 weeks"));
newDate_1 = strtotime($newDate);

if($DateNeeded < $newDate){
  echo "You need to...."
}
