if between two days

[timmah1]

I'm trying to figure out if today's current date and time falls between Mon & Fri, but so far, I can't get it to work.

Can anybody look at my code and see what I'm doing wrong?

 

<?php
$day_start = date('D h:i a', strtotime("Mon 05:30"));
$day_end = date('D h:i a', strtotime("Fri 10:00"));
$day_current = date('D h:i a', strtotime("+1 hours"));

if (($day_current > $day_start) && ($day_current < $day_end))
{
echo "yup";
}
else {
echo "nope";
}
?>

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

comparise the dates with ints (use your strtotime functions to do that)

If you use a date() format string of 'w H:i' you can probably get your code to work. 'D' won't work because you cannot compare the day names directly and 'h' won't work because you must have the same number of digits in each number being compared as a string.

This doesn't make sense.  If you're trying to find out if today's date falls on a week day, what does the time matter?

 

$weekend = array('Sat','Sun');
$today = date('D');
if (!in_array($today, $weekend)){
   echo 'Yup';
}
else {
   echo 'Nope';
}
