How to check if a date is in a given range?

by

Converting them to timestamps is the way to go alright, using strtotime, e.g.

$start_date="2009-06-17";

$end_date="2009-09-05";

$date_from_user="2009-08-28";

check_in_range($start_date, $end_date, $date_from_user);


function check_in_range($start_date, $end_date, $date_from_user)
{
  // Convert to timestamp
  $start_ts = strtotime($start_date);
  $end_ts = strtotime($end_date);
  $user_ts = strtotime($date_from_user);

  // Check that user date is between start & end
  return (($user_ts >= $start_ts) && ($user_ts <= $end_ts));
}
