I think this is because the date now is a few weeks beyond what it was when this video was made. I'm not sure why Treehouse would use something so time sensitive. Try replacing "strtotime(+1)" with a date in July 2016, e.g. strtotime("25 July 2016"). This should take off that last value

I had put in some ambiguous dates in the beginning, some being in 2017, and it now being 2018. It was listing dates in 2017 if they fell under that week range. Is there a way to prevent the 2017 dates from appearing? edit: It actually show any date in 2017, and I am guessing any date before it. So it is only checking for tasks that are ahead of the future. I guess I could make an OR statement

<?php
 if(strtotime($list[$value]['due']) > strtotime("+1 week") || strtotime($list[$value]['due']) < strtotime("-1 day")){
                unset($order[$key]);
            }
?>

right? Yeah. that worked.

I also have the wrong list showing. I have three as opposed to just 2 and they are not the same. frankly the last two videos on this track are just a mess of hacking already written code and making it confusing to follow. Really not impressed with the later stages of the track and am starting to wonder are there better PHP courses elsewhere as these last few videos have wrecked it for me.

Alternatively to the answer Joel gave, you can edit the dates in your $list array in the list.php file to dates that are more relevant to when you are viewing this video. That way you are not actually changing the functionality of what the program was designed to do, only the values that it is working with.
