How to check that today's date is within a given range

["Barrie Matthews" <b.matthews@heurisko.co.nz>]

I have a start_date and a finish_date stored in a mysql db.

I want to check that today's date falls between these 2 dates.

Can I set up the 3 dates so that a simple subtraction can be done? eg

if (($today - $start > 0) && ($finish - $today >0)) {
 ...within range...
} else {
 ...out of range...
}

I can't seem to find date functions that are of any use for this.

Thanks in advance.
