$page->if and date

[Zeka]

Hi.

I'm have used $page->if several times and find it quite useful.

Today I tried to output some string depend on date field, like 

setViewData([
	'news' => $news->explode(function ($news_item) {
		return WireData([
			'title' => $news_item->title,
			'date'  => $news_item->if('publish_from=today', 'yes', 'no'),
			'link'  => $news_item->url
		]);
	})
]);

It returns 'no' for all items, but it should return yes for some of them.

I have tested it with 'created' field and it also doesn't work

pages('id>1000')->each(function ($item) {
	d(date("Y-m-d", strtotime('today')));
	d(date("Y-m-d", $item->created), $item->if('created=today', 'yes', 'no'));
});

Should I consider it as a bug and open an issue or I miss something and didn't understand the description of $key argument for $page->if() ?

Ok, so it actually works with 

$today = strtotime('today');

setViewData([
	'news' => $news->explode(function ($news_item) use ($today) {
		return WireData([
			'title' => $news_item->title,
			'date'  => $news_item->if("publish_from>=$today ", 'yes', 'no'),
			'link'  => $news_item->url
		]);
	})
]);

So maybe somebody can explain why it doesn't work with 'publish_from>=today'?
