i need to know how to display a message if a certain day "2006-05-28" is in a date range input via a html form.

[code]$start_date="2006-05-20";
$end_date="2006-05-29";
$start = strtotime("$start_date");
$end = strtotime("$end_date"); [/code]

how would i display a message in the case above, i.e, your date selection includes "2006-05-28" which is a special day!

however if the date is from 2006-05-29 to 2006-05-30, there should be no message. only if the date range features the 28th!


please help,
cheers!

you're on the right track. now you just need to compare the date with the range.
[code]
$special_date = "2006-05-28";

$start_date="2006-05-20";
$end_date="2006-05-29";
$start = strtotime("$start_date");
$end = strtotime("$end_date");
$special = strtotime($special_date);

if ($special>=$start && $special<=$end)
{
   echo 'thats a special date!';
}
[/code]


cheers

It will also work without the strtotime conversions

[code]$special_date = "2006-05-28";

$start_date="2006-05-20";
$end_date="2006-05-29";

if ($special_date>=$start_date && $special_date<=$end_date)
{
   echo 'thats a special date!';
}[/code]
