How can DateTime objects be utilized for date comparison in PHP?

To compare dates in PHP, you can use DateTime objects which provide a clean and reliable way to work with dates and times. By creating two DateTime objects representing the dates you want to compare, you can easily compare them using comparison operators like greater than (>), less than (<), equal to (==), etc. 

$date1 = new DateTime(&#039;2022-01-01&#039;);
$date2 = new DateTime(&#039;2022-01-15&#039;);

if ($date1 &lt; $date2) {
    echo &quot;Date 1 is before Date 2&quot;;
} elseif ($date1 &gt; $date2) {
    echo &quot;Date 1 is after Date 2&quot;;
} else {
    echo &quot;Date 1 is equal to Date 2&quot;;
}
