It will be something along these lines:

$day = date("l");

If (($day >=date("I")) or ($day <=date("I")))

W3schools.com is your friend.

http://w3schools.com/php/php_date.asp

for what it's worth, I had a hard time with it as well, and php gets

confusing when you have php, html, etc. mixed together along with whatever

else wordpress throws in.

I've got a problem at kaaw now where wordpress uses zulu time and I've

written my code to display a different header each day.

It's a problem because it changes about 7PM here in texas rather than

midnight, but for now I will live with it as I'm behind in my accounting

classes and class ends this weekend.

I struggle because I'm not good with the date data type. My first failure

was to count the weeks between the start date and the current date and I

failed. Then I built a PHP switch trap with current date falling between two

dates or after being post season, would be perfect. When I hover on the ESPN

week selector, it reveals the two dates.

How do I code an IF current date between date1 and date2?

The difference between college and pro is a separate problem that I think I

can handle. ... I like your solution and am googling for a between dates php

solution.

Subject: php date function

Could somebody get me started on a PHP switch or IF ELSE function to set the

current week of a football season. Right now I am setting the date manually

each week with the following:

<?php

// function TO GET curweek of football season

function getCurWeek() {

$curWeek = '05';

return $curWeek;

} // end of getCurWeek

?>

Ideally I want to test the current date if it's between the start and end

date of each week. The wrinkle is and I need to adjust somehow, the pro

season is 1-week behind the college season and anything past curweek['15']

will be 'PS' post season for college and past curweek['17'] for pro's will

be 'PS' if you follow. I'll probably have to return two values instead of

the 1 that I'm doing now. I tried several and my php date syntax doesn't

work.
