How to implement greater than or less than dates in php

Question

i have a small confusion here . in my project i need to display prices for rooms as per dates . for example . from 01 oct 2017 to 31st oct 2017 price is $200. from 01st nov to 30th nov price is $250 and so on .....

now i am trying to do it this way ....

     <?php 

            $currnt_time = time();
            $from_date = strtotime(2017-10-01);
            $till_date = strtotime(2017-10-31);

            if ($currnt_time >= $from_date && $currnt_time < $till_date){
                $price = $200;
            }

            ?>
          <P> Starts FROM <?php echo $price; ?> INR</P>

but when i run this script it says undefined variable $price . i cant understand where i am wrong ) and as i will be having many dates slots like above so what will be the best way to solve this . Please help. Thanks !

You have a $ in front of the value for $price , and you've fogetten to add the quote before and after date strings.

<?php 
    $currnt_time = time();
    $from_date = strtotime('2017-10-01');
    $till_date = strtotime('2017-10-31');

    if ($currnt_time >= $from_date && $currnt_time < $till_date){
        $price = 200;
    }

    ?>
  <P> Starts FROM <?php echo $price; ?> INR</P>
?>
