title: Check today's date with specified date range with PHP
body: <p>I want to check the today's date with specified range of dates and want it to return true if the today's date is between the specified range dates</p>
  
  <p>Something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (todaysDate is between "2017-04-24 ... 2017-08-30") {
      return true;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to check this in PHP?</p>
