Hey, Im trying to write an if statement that will run if the date is for example any monday between 10:00 and 14:00. How would i go about this? How do i compare the current date() with a date set in a variable? Thanks

Use getdate() -> This will return an array containg the date and
time.. You can then check against the array data..

<?php if (date('l') == "Monday" & date('G') >= 10 & date('G') <= 14) { echo "Do stuff"; } ?>
Seems to work...
Looky here for specific arguments to the date function >> http://ie.php.net/date
