Show text between two dates?

[Roych]

Hello,

I'm working on a event calendar and so far everything works fine. But I would like to show some text (Still ongoing!) if an event last more than one day. 

right now I have a text for events that starts today, but would be great if I could implement this also.

Im using this to show TODAY text for my events. I have two datetime fields caled (Start_date and End_date) for start and end of events (normal not publish_from & until).

<?php if (date('d-m-Y') == date('d-m-Y', $single->getUnformatted('Start_date'))) : ?>
	<div class='Danes-text'>TODAY!</div>
<?php endif; ?>

I would like to somehow combine this with events that last more than one day.

I'm not good with php so I need your help.

I was playing with the code below, but not sure what I'm doing here ... ?

<?php
$startDate = date('d-m-Y');
$startDate=date('d-m-Y', $single->Start_date);
//echo $startDate; // echos today! 
$eventDateBegin = date('d-m-Y', $single->Start_date);
$eventDateEnd = date('d-m-Y', $single->End_date);

if (($startDate > $eventDateBegin) && ($startDate < $eventDateEnd)){
    echo "is between";
}else{
    echo "NO GO!";  
}
?>

I hope u understand what I mean.

Thank you

if(
  date('Ymd') >= date('Ymd', $single->getUnformatted('Start_date')) AND
  date('Ymd') <= date('Ymd', $single->getUnformatted('End_date'))
  ) {
  echo "<div class='Dates-text'>ONGOING!</div>";
}

...if it is enough to compare the date (ignoring current time).

that was fast ? It works, is this maybe possible to combine this with the TODAY also? So if event is only one day it would say TODAY if more than one day ONGOING but the first day would stil say Today.

Thank you

Ok i think I got it if there is something wrong, please correct me. Im just postponing this one for one day. Im using the today code wich is gone the second day and next day this one shows.

first day:

<?php if (date('d-m-Y') == date('d-m-Y', $single->getUnformatted('Start_date'))) : ?>
	<div class='Danes-text'>TODAY!</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Next day:

<?php
if(
  date('Ymd', time() + 86400) >= date('Ymd', $single->getUnformatted('Start_date')) AND
  date('Ymd', time() + 86400) <= date('Ymd', $single->getUnformatted('End_date'))
  ) {
  echo "<div class='Dates-text'>ONGOING!</div>";
}
?>

it looks like it is working on my test events. ?

$today = date('Ymd');
$start = date('Ymd', $single->getUnformatted('Start_date'));
$end = date('Ymd', $single->getUnformatted('End_date'));
if($today == $start AND $today == $end) echo "<div class='Dates-text'>TODAY!</div>";
elseif($today >= $start AND $today <= $end) echo "<div class='Dates-text'>ONGOING!</div>";
