Dates between dates in table given different content - php

Question

I have a scenario whereby I need to see if a date falls between a start date and an end date, then every table cell between those dates I need to fill with a word like continue (See picture below for example).
Pulling the data from the database and then comparing the start dates and end dates against an of array dates I am able to populate a table like the above image. The complications begin to arise when I try to add information to the cells between looping.
I used:
if(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i])) > $data['sData'] && date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i])) > $data['eData']){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>Continue</td>";
}
However, this didn't provide the output I was after.
My current code is:
$all = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM `assignment` WHERE user_id = $user ORDER BY `sDate` ASC");
$all->execute();
$rows = $all->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo "<table class='table table-hover'><tr><td></td>";
for($i = 0; $i < count($test->range); $i++){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>" . date("d-m-Y", strtotime($test->range[$i])) . "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
foreach($rows as $data){
echo "<tr><td>" . $data['name'] . "</td>";
for($i = 0; $i < count($test->range); $i++){
if($data['sDate'] === date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i]))){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>Start</td>";
}
if(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i])) > $data['sData'] && date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i])) > $data['eData']){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>Continue</td>";
}
if($data['eDate'] === date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i]))){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>End</td>";
}
echo "<td class='col-md-6'></td>";
}
}
echo "</table>"
How can I fill the table cells between start and end with the word continue?

Just use a helper variable?
foreach($rows as $data){
echo "<tr><td>" . $data['name'] . "</td>";
$started = false;
for($i = 0; $i < count($test->range); $i++){
if($data['sDate'] === date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i]))){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>Start</td>";
$started = true;
}
if($data['eDate'] === date("Y-m-d", strtotime($test->range[$i]))){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>End</td>";
$started = false;
}
if($started){
echo "<td class='col-md-6'>Continue</td>";
}
echo "<td class='col-md-6'></td>";
}
}
