Validating dates in zend framework (comparing two)

Question

I'm developing a zend form for a events. I wanna validate two dates such that the first one ($date_start) should be greater than the current date and the second one ($date_end) should be greater than the first one ($date_end > $date_start). Does anybody knows how to do it using validators?

Have you read this? http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.validate.writing_validators.html — vascowhite, Aug 01 '11 at 05:38
just a little comment to say that you can use comparaison operators `<` and `>` on datetimes in PHP. Maybe this can help. — julesbou, Aug 01 '11 at 09:44

Easy with Zend Date

$dateOne = new Zend_Date(time());
$dateTwo = new Zend_Date(time());

if ($dateOne->isLater($dateTwo)) {
 // do what ever
}

if ($dateOne->isEarlier($dateTwo)) {
 // do what ever
}

Yes what @ArnieRie says is right .

But as you are looking to use in Zend_Form

You can check this question : Zend Form Validate Range Date

Same applies here. I saw the same article over http://www.oplabo.com/article/22 .
