Start with the obvious - what actually IS the value of
$discountResult["dateexpired"]? var_dump it out and have a look. Check
you are comparing like with like. You're also not performing a strict
comparison, so string conversion could be going on here.
The other obvious fact is that if dateexpired is less than *right
now*, it'll always "dosomething" ! :)
Cheers,
Rich
