如果事件日期小于现在，请显示foo。 如果事件日期大于现在，请显示栏

I have an events page on my website and I run a event bar at the top of my header showing the latest event. I'm trying to figure out how to write this correctly.

If the event has not happened I want to show it. If the event has already happened I do not want to show the event.

CODE:

<?php //SELECT QUERY...
    foreach($events->results() as $e):
$now = "now()";
    if($e->event_date <= $now){?>   
        <h1>Show Event</h1>

<?php } 
    elseif($e->event_date > $now){ ?>
        <h1>DON'T Show Event</h1>
<?php
}
    endforeach;

So basicly if the event's timestamp is less than or equal to the upcoming event, I want it to show.

If the event's timestamp is greater than the current date and time of the event, I do not want it to show.

Database table for events.

now() is mysql function . In PHP we use time() to get the current timestamp

It is used as

$now = time();// get current timestamp

Use strtotime() to convert date in time stamp then use for comparison

$now = time();
foreach ($events->results() as $e):
    if (strtotime($e->event_date) >= $now) {// check for greater then equal to
        ?>   
        <h1>Show Event</h1>
        <?php
    } else {
        echo "<h1>DON'T Show Event</h1>";
    }
endforeach;

You are in right Direction, change it like

<?php //SELECT QUERY...
    foreach($events->results() as $e):
       $now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
       if(date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($e->event_date)) >= $now){   
          echo "<h1>Show Event</h1>";
       }else{
          echo "<h1>DON'T Show Event</h1>";
       }
    endforeach;
  ?>
