    I am working in a scenario in my website using WordPress, for almost a week but not yet find a solution :(.

    It is an online food portal where a user cannot order any dishes/foods within two time frame like:

    first time slot -> 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm (Morning = lunch) user can not order lunch in this time frame but can order dinner in this time.
    second time slot -> 4:35 pm to 9:00 pm (Evening = dinner) user can not order dinner in this time frame but can order lunch in this time.
    In short, in between 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm user can not order lunch but can order other then this time. similarly in between 4:35 pm to 9:00 pm user can not order dinner but can order any other time

    I am using following hooks and functions:

    but not working yet:

    function add_the_date_validation( $passed ) { 

 $passed = true;
 date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Karachi");
    $day = date('l'); 

    //Getting Day:

     $time = date("h:i a");

     if(!empty($_POST['select-1614371742572'])) {
        

        $selected = $_POST['select-1614371742572'];

        $lunchstarttime = "12:10 pm";
        $lunchendtime = "04:28 pm";

        $dinnerstarttime = "04:30 PM";
        $dinnerendtime = "09:00 PM";

        //Check for Lunch

         if($selected == "Lunch")
         {
            echo $time; 
             
             if($time > $lunchstarttime_a && $time < $lunchendtime_a)
             {
            
                 wc_add_notice( __( 'You can not order lunch between 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
                 $passed = false;
             }                  
         }

         //Check for Dinner

         if($selected == "Dinner")
         {
            echo $time; 
             if($time > $dinnerstarttime &&  $time < $dinnerendtime){
             
             wc_add_notice( __( 'You can not order Dinner between 4:30 AM to 12 AM', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );
                 echo "false before";
             $passed = false;    
            
            }
         }
        
         return $passed;
    
     }else{
         $passed = true;
         return $passed;
     }

}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation', 'add_the_date_validation', 10, 5 );

    Hi @assadali15, your problem is that when you are comparing the times, with these lines:

    if($time > $lunchstarttime && $time < $lunchendtime) and if($time > $dinnerstarttime && $time < $dinnerendtime){ you are comparing strings, not the actual dates. Your code here is asking things like ‘is “10:30pm” greater than “9:30am”‘, which can’t be handled with a string comparison. See the below example:

    
$time = strtotime('10:30 pm');
$time2 = strtotime('4:30 pm');

echo $time > $time2; // returns 1 (true)
echo '10:30 pm' > '4:30 pm'; // returns 0 (false)

    Without using the strtotime to turn your strings back into timestamps, you can’t reliably compare them. Try using strtotime on your date("h:i a") formatted string before comparing them in your if statements. Good luck!
