开放/关闭时间之外的PHP

Question

If the current time is outside of the hours we are open then do something. I've seen code where you do something if the time is between the two times, but I need it to do something if the time is outside of the hours.

$current_time = date("H:i a");
$open         = "8:30 am";
$close        = "4:00 pm";
echo $current_time;
$date1 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i a', $current_time);
$date2 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i a', $open);
$date3 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i a', $close);
if ($date1 > $date2 && $date1 < $date3) {
    echo 'here';
}

This is what I'm using for within hours, need something for outside the two hours.

You can just change the condition:

if ($date1 < $date2 || $date1 > $date3) {
echo 'outside the hours';}

Don't forget to change your AND statement as well to OR
