Is date between (range) function

[Anonymous]

Is there a function that will return true or false if a date falls between two given dates
eg:
dateisbetween(currentdate, date1, date2)

If there isn't a function that does that, how do I check to see if todays date is greater than a given date and if todays date is less than a given date? Also how would I format the dates.

Here's what I'm trying to do. I want to check if todays date is between the 1st of Dec & the 31st Dec so I can turn on the xmas decorations on my site each year.

Thanks

Did you think, perhaps, of checking the Date and Time functions section of the documentation?

Here's how you might do it:

<?php
// pass the dates in any format understood by strtotime()
function dateisbetween($currentdate, $date1, $date2) {
   $currentdate = strtotime($currentdate);
   return ($currentdate >= strtotime($date1)) &&
          ($currentdate <= strtotime($date2));
}
?>
