IF Statements in PHP?

Oiiii Oiiii,

How do you write IF statments in PHP, via dates...

So, like, IF date is a holiday period then
' do something
else
' do something else
end if

How would you write this in PHP?

Thanks

oi oi? gotta be a uk bloke :-)

One way is to convert all dates to timestamps (the number of seconds since 01-01-1970)
and compare them, something like

if ((current_timestamp > timestamp of beginning of holidays) AND (current_timestamp < timestamp_of_end_of_holiodays))
{
//this
}
ELSE
{
// that
};
