I have a start_date and a finish_date stored in a mysql db.
I want to check that today's date falls between these 2 dates.
Can I set up the 3 dates so that a simple subtraction can be done? eg
if (($today - $start > 0) && ($finish - $today >0)) {
...within range...
} else {
...out of range...
}
I can't seem to find date functions that are of any use for this.
Thanks in advance.
