You're actually pretty close. What I would do is remove the dashes
from the equation and make that date a unique number. The advantage
of the date format you're using is that the date represented as a
number will always be sequential. So, if you do this:
$week1 = "20050110";
$week2 = "20050117";
$week3 = "20050124";
if(date("Ymd") >= $week1)
{
echo "this is week 1";
}
Now you'll have to create your logic in reverse, so that it will
trigger the latest date first, because every date from now until week
17 will be greater than $week1. So, something like:
if (date("Ymd") >= $week17)
{
echo "This is week 17";
}
elseif (date("Ymd") >= $week16)
{
echo "This is week 16";
}
etc.
Does that make sense?
