[PHP-DB] How to check that today's date is within a given range

I have a start_date and a finish_date stored in a mysql db. I want to check that today's date falls between these 2 dates. Can I set up the 3 dates so that a simple subtraction can be done? eg if (($today - $start > 0) && ($finish - $today >0)) { ...within range... } else { ...out of range...
