Your approach makes me wonder why you are bothering to convert between
timestamps and formatted dates so many times. It makes much more sense to
use timestamps for conditionals and math, and use date() only in your echo
statement.
As for your particular error, I'm sure you could easily find it with just
a few minutes of debugging. For example, output the value of $start and
$stop at the beginning and very end of each loop.
Also, you might want to use != for not equal. From the manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.expressions.php):
PHP supports > (bigger than), >= (bigger than or equal to), == (equal), !=
(not equal), < (smaller than) and <= (smaller than or equal to). These
expressions are most commonly used inside conditional execution, such as
if statements.
Hope that helps.
