Scheduled time down

[mopar003]

I need to be able to set the startDate/time and enddate/time and return if we are currently in that timeframe.  This is for a system maintenance between dateA at 4:00p to dateB at 12:00a.  Want to redirect user to a temp page.

I think it would go something like:

startDate:
startTime:
endDate:
endTime:

process and return true if currently in between start and end, or return false.

[code]
$starttime = ;// unix timestamp format
$enddtime = ;// unix timestamp format
$currenttime = time();
if (($currenttime > $starttime) && ($currenttime < $endtime)) {
  header("location: temppage.php"); exit;
}
// normal page code here.
[/code]

That will work.  Now whats the best way to convert 10-25-2006 10:00 to unix timestap?
