I am confused... probably because of lack of sleep. Anyway... I have code that looks like this: if ($discountResult["dateexpired"] > date("U")) { //dosomething } else { //do something else } Using Epoch obviously.... Anyway... it's supposed to read: IF the expired date is past the current date... disallow "dosomething" otherwise... let it go. I set the expire date to be Sept 30, 2005 and obviously today is the current date but for some reason the "dosomething" is being allowed. Do I have the operators mixed up here? Works is I reverse the operator but shouldn't it work as I have it? Thanks all. Appreciate the clarrification.
