opening, closing date

[dvayne]

the admin will post opening and closing date. The members will be able to post with given period. If the time will lapse, there will be displayed something. please help me.....

for example

 

april 1, 2008 - april 3, 2008,

if april 4 now, members will not be able to post

Use this as a base ...

<?php
$start = //something
$stop = //something
$now = time();

if ($now > $stop)
{
echo "No more posts.";
}
?>

to compare dates they need to be in YYYY-mm-dd format or as unix timestamps.

 

Using the latter

<?php
$start = strtotime('april 1, 2008');
$end = strtotime('april 3, 2008');

$now = mktime(0,0,0);

if ($start <= $now && $now <= $end)
{
    echo "OK to post";
}
else {
    echo "No posting"
}
?>
