If you want the value of $pay_date to be the argument of strtotime, you need
to enclose it in double quotes (do the same for all other occurrences).

Try:

strtotime("$pay_date");

[...]

When a string <http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php> is
specified in double quotes or with heredoc,
variables<http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php>are
parsed within it.
