Coding Wordpress/PHP Problem - php

Question

Im having a bit of a problem with wordpress. On my site there is a bit that displays voucher now what i want is when that voucher expires i want the voucher details div not too show.
Here is the code from single.php
<?php if(have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'image',true);
$writer = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'writer',true);
$code = get_post_meta($post->ID,'vcode',true);
$store = get_post_meta($post->ID,'store',true);
$expiry = strtotime(get_post_meta($post->ID,'expiry',true));
$desc = get_post_meta($post->ID,'description',true);
$datetoday = strtotime(date('Y/m/d'));
?>
this brings all the data from custom fields
heres the voucher div
<?php if($expiry > $datetoday){?>
<div class="voucherDetails">
<h2>Voucher Details</h2>
<div class="left">
<ul>
<li>Code: <?php echo $code;?></li>
<li>Expires: <?php echo $expiry;?></li>
<li><a class="more-link" href="<?php echo $store;?>" title="Visit Store">Visit Store!</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="desc right">
<h4>Description</h4>
<p><?php echo $desc;?></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php }?>
Now when i run this with the expiry with any value the voucher doesn't show The value in store is DD/MM/YYYY
Can't work it out, all help appreciated,
Thanks

Answer 1

Change
$datetoday = strtotime(date('d/m/Y'));
to be
$datetoday = strtotime(date('Y/m/d'));
Try run the following as an example of how it differs:
$datetoday = strtotime(date('d/m/Y'));
var_dump($datetoday);
var_dump(date("F j, Y, g:i a", $datetoday));
$datetoday = strtotime(date('Y/m/d'));
var_dump($datetoday);
var_dump(date("F j, Y, g:i a", $datetoday));
Edit: Alternatively use strtotime("now") if you want the precise timestamp to the very minute
