Does anyone know of a good php function or method to get whether a given date is within a given time period that is not static? I.e. date() is used in order to get the current date and state whether that is within a specific date period.

I've tried the strtotime function to timestamp and compare 4 different time periods, I just can't seem to get it right as the year on the given time periods will change based on the current year. I only seem to be able to compare static time periods- think I'm being quite stupid!

Any ideas?

Cheers :confused:
