redbullmarky Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 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]cheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5404-comparing-2-time-stamp-dates/#findComment-19268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 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] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5404-comparing-2-time-stamp-dates/#findComment-19448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
