根据当天动态更改结束日期格式

Question

I am putting together a membership site that uses a pro rata system for memberships fees.

EG

$75.00 from 01 Apr YY - 31 Mar YY but if you join at say around Sep YY, then you only pay the pro rata of $38.00

My current coding is working fine - no probs.

But was wondering is there a way to to dynamically change the end date ($your_date) below so I don't have to manually edit it every 12 months?

So for instance, if today's date was 01 Feb 2017, then $your_date below is correct.

However, if todays date was 14 May 2017, then $your_date below of course is incorrect.

Membership year runs from 01 Apr this/last year - 31 Mar this/next year, so it would be

if Today's date <= 31 Mar this/next year && >= 01 Apr this/last year then do something..

 <?php
     $now = time(); // or your date as well
     $your_date = strtotime("2017-03-31");
     $datediff = $your_date - $now;
     $SOS = floor($datediff/(60*60*24)*0.205);
     $ORD = floor($datediff/(60*60*24)*0.115);
     $GEN = floor($datediff/(60*60*24)*0.03);

?>

Or have I got a fixation with the code I'm using and there is something a lot simpler?

Answer 1

The PHP below is deliberately verbose in order that each line explains itself:

$Current_Year = date('Y');
$Current_Month = date('n');
$Current_Day = date('j');

$Next_Year = ($Current_Year + 1);

if ($Current_Month < 4) {
$Expiration_Year = $Current_Year;
}

if ($Current_Month > 3) {
$Expiration_Year = $Next_Year;
}

# Checks if date is March 31st
if (($Current_Month == 3) && ($Current_Day == 31)) {
$Expiration_Year = $Next_Year;
}

$Expiration_Date = $Expiration_Year.'-03-31';
