Share the post "Display a Message When Comparing Two Dates"
With this tutorial, we will show you how to create a condition that will display a message when comparing two dates or a hyperlink following the dates.
For example, you want to define a condition that today’s date is less than the date from a dynamic result.
We will need to generate our dates in a specific format (Date : 01-01-20 for our current example) with strtotime. To generate the current day’s date we will use get_the_date(format).
Here is the condition:
<?php
$datetoday = strtotime(get_the_date('d-m-y'));
$dateconference = '01-01-21';
if ( ( $datetoday > $dateconference) ) { ?>
<?php echo 'Disponible prochainement'; ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="" class="bouton-print"><?php _e('Remplir', 'nomdevotretheme'); ?></a>
<?php } ?>In this example, if today’s date is no greater than January 1st 2021, the link to the conference will not be available. You can tweak your condition by adding a “less than (<)” condition.
NB: Make sure to backup your theme and database before adding these functions.
