I just wrote this stock for an upcoming thing I'm about to release (I love the feeling when you're so close to releasing a big project you can taste it! ).

It accepts a single parameter, a date string formatted as YYYY-MM-DD, and compare it to the current server date. If the date is in the past, it returns true. Otherwise, it returns false (also returns false if the dates are identical).

I haven't tested it yet, but it should work fine. Let me know if there's a problem with it.

PHP Code:

stock bool:IsDateInPast(const String:date[]) {
    decl String:curYear[4], String:curMonth[2], String:curDay[2], String:oldDate[3][4];
    FormatTime(curYear, sizeof(curYear), "Y");
    FormatTime(curMonth, sizeof(curMonth), "m");
    FormatTime(curDay, sizeof(curDay), "d");
    ExplodeString(date, "-", oldDate, 3, 4);
    new cy = StringToInt(curYear);
    new cm = StringToInt(curMonth);
    new cd = StringToInt(curDay);
    new oy = StringToInt(oldDate[0]);
    new om = StringToInt(oldDate[1]);
    new od = StringToInt(oldDate[2]);
    if(oy < cy) {
        return true; // the year we're comparing to is less than the current, it's in the past
    }
    if(oy > cy) {
        return false; // the year we're comparing to is greater than the current, it's in the future
    }
    // at this point the years must be identical
    if(om < cm) {
        return true; // the month we're comparing to is less than the current, it's in the past
    }
    if(om > cm) {
        return false; // you get the drift
    }
    // at this point the months must be identical
    if(od < cd) {
        return true;
    }
    if(od > cd) {
        return false;
    }
    // at this point the days are identical
    // identical days is not the past, so return false
    return false;
}

Nice code, it looks clean and easy to implement. Thanks for sharing we have been working on an extended project that calculates time, cost, and too much more to get into.
