I'm puzzled why the if statement executes as true when the first date (job_closedate) is not less than the second date (now).
The if statement claims that "12/02/2011" is less than "11/30/2011".
if (date("m/d/Y",strtotime($jobs_closedate))<= date("m/d/Y",strtotime("now"))){
You're comparing strings here, try to compare the unix timestamp:
if (strtotime($jobs_closedate)<= strtotime("now")){
That'll probably do what you want..

Another way to do it would be:
if(strtotime($jobs_closedate)<=time()) {
}
or
if(date("Y-m-d",strtotime($job_closedate))<=date("Y-m-d",time()) {
}
Take care,

As of PHP 5.2.2 direct comparison of DateTime objects is also possible. So:
$closeDate = new DateTime($jobs_closedate);
$now = new DateTime('now');
if($closeDate < $now) {
echo $closeDate->format('m/d/Y'); // output in US date format
echo $now->format('m/d/Y'); // output in US date format
$error .= "The close date must be later than today's date, " .
$now->format('m/d/Y') . "\n";
}
This, IMO is a lot prettier.
