"<=" is for numeric comparison, you want the 'le' operator for string comparison:

if ($db_date le $bdt) {
    # process
}

I don't often compare dates, but when I do, I compare chronologically.	[reply]

If the dates are in some form of numeric 'year month day hour minute second', then check all fields are 0 padded, and a gt/lt/eq compare is perfectly valid and simple to grok what's going on. Its only when you get to the insanity of YYYY DD MM formats, that things go pear shaped... `http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime` Cheers, R. Pereant, qui ante nos nostra dixerunt!	[reply] [d/l]

and the OP also doesn't compare dates successfully. I believe there is a high correlation between these two facts. I just meant to point out that, while comparing dates as strings will get rid of the warnings, it is probably not desirable.	[reply]
