I'm using a front-end GF to allow users to create a 'Project' custom post type. I'm using the Date field (from Advanced Fields, with the jQuery datepicker) on a couple of fields to allow users to set a project start and finish date. </p> <p>I can output these to my template fine. What I'd like is a way to test if the End Date field is before or after the current date - so I can display a 'Finished' or 'Still Active' message. </p> <p>This is the code that outputs the date to the template:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php $project_enddate = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &#39;project_enddate&#39;, true); if($project_enddate) : ?&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;End Date:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;?php echo $project_enddate; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>BTW I am using dd/mm/yyyy format as I'm in the UK. If anyone has an idea on how to do this I'd be very grateful.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
