Hey all…

This works:

$today = '{current_time format="%Y-%m-%d"}';
echo strtotime($today);

This doesn’t:

$expiration = '{expiration_date format="%Y-%m-%d"}';    
echo strtotime($expiration);

The latter doesn’t “echo” anything out.  Any idea as to why this is happening?

The first example would work with PHP on either Input or Output parsing, because the current time variable is parsed before tags.  Expiration date is a tag’s variable, so it would only work if PHP was set to be parsed on Output stage parsing.

Ahh, didn’t even think to consider the parsing stage.  Thanks Derek!  You guys are too good.
