Q:

How can I check a date from a mysql database `2010-10-18 07:44:53` against a future date using PHP?

I was wondering how would my PHP code look like when I do this?

A:

$end = $now->modify('+1 year');

From @RC answer or, if you prefer, you can use one of this:
$end = $now->setTime(hours, mins, secs);
$end = $now->setDate(year, month, day);
