What would be expiring?

You could check using something like

PHP: Select all


$expiry = "August 31 2007"; // US date format
 
 
// Check the expiry converted to a timestamp against the current timestamp
if (time() > strtotime($expiry))
    echo 'Expired!';
else
    echo 'You can drink that milk, it\'s still good';

i think he means,
you know when you fill in a form,
and the page is created dynamically,
and when you realise you need to go back,
you get an annoying page to tell you the page has expired -_-
