IF loop

[Ron Piggott <ron.php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would someone help me tweak the IF statement below?  I am trying to
assign a value to $seasonal_greeting on Good Friday, Saturday and Easter
Sunday.  

We had added an extra day's worth of seconds to $Easter_Sunday wondering
if this is why it didn't work on Easter Sunday.  

Where I am at today --- the IF loop is assigning a value to
$seasonal_greeting, not the desired results.  

Please e-mail me directly any modifications that should be made to these
lines of code below.  ron.php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  

Thanks, Ron

$current_year=date("Y");
$date_reference=time();

$good_Friday = easter_date($current_year)-24*3600*2;
$Easter_Sunday = easter_date($current_year)*60*60*24;

if ($date_reference >= $good_Friday && $date_reference <=
$Easter_Sunday) {

$seasonal_greeting = "Have a blessed Easter Weekend celebrating Jesus'
love for you on the cross";

}
