Question

I’m new to PHP and could use a little help figuring this out. I have a drupal website where I have a field that is called ‘field_date’. Inside that field there are two variables (date1 & date2) which are the start and end dates. I am trying to create a statement that says:

If the current date is between date1 and date2 then display ‘x’. If it is out of that date range then display ‘y’.

I can also get the current date by using the drupal date variable:

format_date(time(), 'custom', 'F d Y');

Thanks for anyone able to assist. I really do appreciate it!

UPDATE: For anyone that has this same question I got some help here.

Answer 1

convert your variables into one form and put them into if-statement

$now = time();
$date1 = strtotime($date1);
$date2 = strtotime($date2);
if ( $now >= $date1 && $now <= $date2) {
    echo 'x';
} else {
    echo 'y';
}
