title: Get date closest to today in PHP from database
body: <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm making a backend of a website. The mean point of the website is to give a clear overview to the visitors when and what activities we are organizing.<br>
  So I filled the database with all kinds of activities. Every activity has a date, a name and some other information.</p>
  
  <p>It's quite obvious the visitors aren't helped by showing the activities in the past, so I only want them to show the forthcoming activities. And to save myself a lot of work, it would be nice to do PHP/MySQL all the work and showing the visitors only the 2 next events.</p>
  
  <p>Can you advise me a MySQL function to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance, </p>
