How can PHP be used to compare dates within a specified range?

When comparing dates within a specified range in PHP, you can use the strtotime() function to convert the dates to Unix timestamps, which makes it easier to compare them. Once the dates are converted to timestamps, you can use comparison operators like greater than (>) and less than (<) to check if a date falls within the specified range. 

$date1 = strtotime(&#039;2022-01-01&#039;);
$date2 = strtotime(&#039;2022-12-31&#039;);
$checkDate = strtotime(&#039;2022-06-15&#039;);

if ($checkDate &gt;= $date1 &amp;&amp; $checkDate &lt;= $date2) {
    echo &#039;The date falls within the specified range.&#039;;
} else {
    echo &#039;The date is outside the specified range.&#039;;
}
