Quicker way for date comparing in PHP

Question

Currently I'm doing something like the following

if(date("H") > 23) {
    if(date("H") < 24) {
        if(date("i") < 10) {
            if(date("i") < 20) {
                //perform an action if it's between 11:10pm and 11:20pm
            }
        }
    }
}

What's a quicker and cleaner way of perfoming such if statements?

Answer 1

Not a whole lot less code but probably easier to read:

$now   = new DateTime();
$early = new DateTime('23:10');
$late  = new DateTime('23:20');
if ($now > $early && $now < $late) {
    //perform an action if it's between 11:10pm and 11:20pm
}
