Won't this give you the same results without the extra conversion steps?
$todaydate = date("U");
$showenddate = strtotime($showsRecord['end_date']);
if ($todaydate< $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived";
else:
echo "The show has ended";
endif;
You must convert both $todaydate and $showendate with strtotime() function,
then you can compare them.

Hi all,
I am having a problem with comparing time. I am using the following:
$todaydate = date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a");
$showenddate = date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a",
strtotime($showsRecord['end_date']));
if ($todaydate> $showenddate):
echo "The date of the show has not yet arrived";
else:
echo "The show has ended";
endif;
The problem that I am encountering is that PHP is rendering the reverse of
the equation. For example:
If today's date is *11 Nov 2012* and the show's end date is *18 Nov 2012*,
the message that I am getting is *the show has ended* which is wrong. A
test example is at http://www.lakesidesurrey.co.uk/test.php.
You can also me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Terry
