PHP check if the dates are in current week

Question

I am using WordPress as my CMS. I am trying to check if some of my user has a birthday in current week. with no success.

Here is my code

$fd = date("Y-m-d",strtotime('monday this week')); 
$ld = date("Y-m-d",strtotime("sunday this week"));

$cdate = date('m-d',time()); 
if (($cdate >= $fd)  && ($cdate <= $ld)) {
echo 'true';
} else {
echo 'false';
}

This is returning false for me If i use

  'm-d' in $cdate variable 

It works fine if is use Y-m-d but in that case , the years should be same which isnt possible as all the people have different birth years

Answer 1

Here's My Way

To find it you can do like this

Step 1 :

Find the Start and Last Day of the Week

$FirstDay = date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday last week'));  
$LastDay = date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday this week'));  

Step 2 :

See if the given date is between the Start and Last Day of the Week

  if($Date > $FirstDay && $Date < $LastDay) {
       echo "It is Between";
    } else {
        echo "No Not !!!";  
    } 

If Yes then It belongs Else Not

So, Finally the Code you shall have is

<?php
$Date = "2015-06-01"; #Your Own Date
$Date = date('Y-m-d'); #Or Current Date Fixed here
$FirstDay = date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday last week'));  
$LastDay = date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday this week'));  
if($Date > $FirstDay && $Date < $LastDay) {
   echo "It is Between";
} else {
    echo "No Not !!!";  
}  
?>

Note

1. You can have your own Start Day i.e., Sunday or Monday

2. You can have your own Date or Current Date
