Hi Rich, Thanks for your reply. dateexpired is: 1128052800 which translates into: 2005-09-30 00:00:00 Basically, I'm just trying to figure out when the dateexpired is. IF it is past the current date then I am erroring out and if it's under the current date... I'm allowing the transaction. I would assume the following: if (2005-09-30 00:00:00 > 2005-10-07 00:00:00) it should error out, no? Thanks!
