hi all ive been up all night trying to get this work, im trying to test the `$year` value against the date to make sure that it is not less than the current date

here is my code at the moment it doesn't seem to work im not sure what im doing wrong

```
   public function checkDateField($month, $day, $year)
   {
        if (!is_numeric($month) || !is_numeric($day) || !is_numeric($year) || !checkdate($month, $day, $year)< date("m-d-y")) {
            $msg = '*Invalid date';

        }
        return $msg;    
   }

```

you can run the example by providing a path to the arm-linux-gnueabi shared libs using the -L flag. 

```
qemu-arm -L /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/

```

also make sure the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH is not set.

```
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

```
```
$ export QEMU_LD_PREFIX=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi

```

This works for me.
It's basically the same thing as:

```
$ qemu-arm -L /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/

```

You can add it to the ~/.bashrc file so you don't have to type it everytime you open the terminal.
