Help with the time!

[geniuscrew]

Hi I need help with times -

I have a table which contains records. I also have an "airdate" field.

In the field goes a date and a time.

I would like to know how to display the records based on the date today.

I think it involves comparing todays date with the value in the field but I'm not sure

Edited to add: I also would like to know how to display GMT time in the format

PHP Code:

$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); 


- this isn't the server time however, the server is EST.

Thanx!
