yup, currently doing it in a small project I'm working on.

your function:

function checkTime($time1,$time2){
$nowTime=date("H:i:s");
//do validation on $time1 and $time2 to ensure H:i:s format

if( $time1>$nowTime && $time2<$nowTime) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
} // end checkTime


your function, which stripped of validation and exception handling,
looks like it should work (so long as $time1 and $time2 are in H:i:s
format. What's the problem?
