Check time between two time PHP

Here is simple PHP code to check the time between two times.

<?php
$current_time = date('H:i');
$startTime = "09:15";
$endTime = "09:45";
$time1 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i', $current_time);
$time2 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i', $startTime);
$time3 = DateTime::createFromFormat('H:i', $endTime);

if ($time1 >= $time2 && $time1 <= $time3){
 echo true;
}else{
 echo false;
}

For this I’m using DateTime::createFromFormat you can read more about DateTime here.
