I want to compare the following dates with different years and saving status:
@date = DateTime.now.strftime("%d-%b-%Y")
@valid_to_date = @new_certificate.valid_to.strftime("%d-%b-%Y")
if @valid_to_date == @date
@new_certificate.update_attributes(status: 1)
elsif @valid_to_date > @date
@new_certificate.update_attributes(status: 2)
elsif @valid_to_date < @date
@new_certificate.update_attributes(status: 3)
else
end
It's working fine for the same years, but for different years, it is not working. Please help me to solve this.

If you want to compare dates as dates, and not as the specific string format that you wrote, then compare them as dates:
@date = Date.today
@valid_to_date = @new_certificate.valid_to.to_date
Even if you chose to compare the dates as strings, the comparison goes from the left to right (unless you are using a language like Arabic), so your string format will obviously not work. You also would need padding by zero in appropriate places.
