I am comparing to dates.

I cannot figure out why the $error is being assigned inside the if statement, since the statement should be false. 01/03/2012 is not less than 09/16/2012.

You shouldn't be comparing the date strings, but the UNIX timestamp values:

define('WSOFFBEGIN','09/16/2012');
$jes = 01/03/2012;

if ( strtotime($jes) < strtotime(WSOFFBEGIN) )
{
$error = " MUST begin after " . WSOFFBEGIN . "\n";
}
