if strtorime is not working

[williamvdh]

I have the following code:

 

$current_time = strtotime('now');
if ($current_time > strtotime('monday this week 00:00:01') && $current_time < strtotime('saturday this week 23:59:59')) {
		$class = "nieuwsinhoudrood";
	} else {
		$class = "nieuwsinhoud";
	}

 

I was expecting this to result in $class = "nieuwsinhoudrood", however, this is resulting in $class = "nieuwsinhoud". I do not see where this code is wrong. Hopefully someone can help me.

 

Edit: The servertime is right, I checked this.

Echo the values strtotime is returning and see what they are, and how they compare to what you expect them to be.

Thanks for your quick reply, I did it:

 

if (1328058862 > 1328482801 && 1328058862 < 1328396399) {

 

This means that Wednesday 01-02-12 02:19:16 (got this from php_date) is not greater than monday this week 00:00:01..

Using date, look at the actual dates being returned. You'll see what's happening immediately.

 

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('now')) . '<br>';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('monday this week 00:00:01')) . '<br>';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('saturday this week 23:59:59'));

Your script echoed this:

 

2012-02-01

2012-02-06

2012-02-04

 

So monday this week = monday next week.

 

When I do this:

 

<?php
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('now')) . '<br>';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('monday this week 00:00:01')) . '<br>';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('monday last week 00:00:01')) . '<br>';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('saturday this week 23:59:59'));
?>

 

I get this output:

 

2012-02-01

2012-02-06

2012-01-30

2012-02-04

 

So monday last week gives me this week's monday. What is happening?
