Make this be "elseif" (one word) or you'll some day confuse yourself when
you get nested if/else things going.
Also, you don't want || here, really...
You'd want && to say what you are trying to say.
Dates *WAY* in the future are bigger then 01-15-05, and so they never get
compared to 01-31-05 because you used ||.
At this point, you already *KNOW* that the date is larger than 01-14-05,
so the whole check about 01-15-05 is kinda pointless.
elseif ($today <= "01-31-05") {
A couple other notes.
If you're going to print() out more than a couple lines, just get out of
PHP. It's going to be easier to maintain your HTML if you do.
Also, you might find this a more natural way to do things:
$today = time();
<?php
if ($today <= mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 14, 2005){
?>
Early Registration Stuff Here.
<?php
}
elseif ($today <= mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 31, 2005){
?>
Normal Registratoin Stuff Here.
<?php
}
else{
?>
