What are some common workarounds for implementing a "between" function in PHP?

The "between" function is not a built-in function in PHP, but you can implement it using logical operators to check if a value falls within a specified range. One common workaround is to use comparison operators to check if a value is greater than or equal to the lower bound and less than or equal to the upper bound. 

function isBetween($value, $lower, $upper) {
    return $value >= $lower && $value <= $upper;
}

// Example usage
$value = 5;
$lower = 1;
$upper = 10;

if (isBetween($value, $lower, $upper)) {
    echo "The value is between the lower and upper bounds.";
} else {
    echo "The value is not between the lower and upper bounds.";
}
