 * Yes it is. You can use timetamp values (from the [date()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)
   function) or time objects (new [DateTime()](http://php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php)).
   YOu can use both of these in calculations or comparisons.

 * Something like this?
 *     ```
       $now = current_time ();
       $then = strtotime( '2017-08-19' );
   
       if( $now < $then ) {
           echo "It's before the time";
       }
       else {
           echo "It's after the time";
       }
       ```
