[thelist] Need some PHP Syntax help

Ok, this is good.  Thanks, Mark.

$OrderDate contains both date and time.  It's from a datetime stamp in
MS SQL.  An example is: "2007-04-26 10:31:00:00"  So, adding 8 hours to
an assumed time of midnight won't work, unless we can first strip out
the time.

Thanks!!

Casey

Syntax and semantics are muddled here.

Not sure if strtotime('now') works. just calling time() would do the
trick.

If $orderdata is in fact a *string* containing only a date string and no
time value then why not just use :

if (time() > (strtotime($Orderdate) + 20 * 60 * 60) )

(is the current time later than 20 hour past midnight on the order date
- 8 pm)

Or alternatively:

if (time() > strtotime($Orderdate . " 8:00 pm")
