[RESOLVED] date time if{} etc

[sheephat]

Hi everyone, i am in need of your assistance.

I am currently working on a page that will display text from a certain date untill another date

what i want to happen is

if(the current time is between $timea + $timeb) {echo"text";}

else{whatever...;}

$timea will be saturday and timeb will be two weeks after. (during this time i the if to execute the code i put in the if statement when the page is loaded of course.)

What is my best approach towards getting this done?

Thanks in advance.

Use the time() function.

www.php.net/time

You'd do something like calculate the timestamp for the Saturday in question, then add two weeks worth of seconds to it (1,209,600). Then calculate the current timestamp and compare it to the second timestamp. If it's larger, the date has gone by. 🙂

Thats what i have done but i cant work out how to get it to work like

$timenow is greater than $timea but lessthan $timeb if that make sence

Do you have any code I can look at, so I don't need to write everything for you?

$start = strtotime('2007-07-23 07:00:00');
$end = strtotime('2007-08-01 18:00:00');
$now = time();
if($now >= $start && $now <= $end)
{
   echo "text";
}
