PHP to determine if time has past on the server

    I’m trying to figure out how to make this statement work so that the products I show on the front of the site have a Link titled Pre-Order if the Release date has not past and Order if the release date is today or has past.. this is what I have so far, but it doesn’t spit out what I thought it would… 

    if(!empty($result["released"])) {
				$result["released"] = date('d/m/Y', strtotime($result["released"]));
			}
if($result["released"] >= date('d/m/Y')){
$preorder = ('ORDER');
}
else{
$preorder = ('PREORDER');
}

    Any ideas here?

    $exp_date = "2006-01-16";
$todays_date = date("Y-m-d");

$today = strtotime($todays_date);
$expiration_date = strtotime($exp_date);

if ($expiration_date > $today) {
     $valid = "yes";
} else {
     $valid = "no";
}

    Should look at this I think and see how I can use it in my code.

    This looks right I think:

    $release_date = strtotime($result["released"]);
$today = strtotime("now");
			}
if($release_date <= $today){
$preorder = ('ORDER');
}
else{
$preorder = ('PREORDER');
}
