weekly series calculation with php if statement - php

Question

I am a little array-ed out with this and I am hoping that someone can help me. I have a few variables and am a little stuck with using the arrays in an if statement.
What I like to find out is if my relocation_date is less then notified_time (from a generated series) then give me old_meter_id else meter_id
$meter_id = 1393;
$notified_time = '2013-05-01 09:53';
$completed_time = '2013-05-01 11:52';
$relocation_date = '2013-04-24 00:00';
$old_meter_id = 1832;
$notified_time = strtotime($notified_time);
$completed_time = strtotime($completed_time);
$relocation_date = date($relocation_date);
$combined = array();
for($i=0;$i<=10;$i++)
{
$start_series = strtotime("- $i weeks", $notified_time);
$end_series = strtotime("- $i weeks", $completed_time);
$combined[] = array( 'start_time' => date('d-m-Y H:i:s',$start_series),
'end_time' => date('d-m-Y H:i:s',$end_series),
'relocation' => $relocation_date,
'meter_id' => $meter_id,
'old_meter_id' => $old_meter_id,
);
}
sample expected output to be like:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[start_time] => 01-05-2013 09:53:00
[end_time] => 01-05-2013 11:52:00
[relocation] => 2013-04-24 00:00
[meter_id] => 1393
)
[1] => Array
(
[start_time] => 24-04-2013 09:53:00
[end_time] => 24-04-2013 11:52:00
[relocation] => 2013-04-24 00:00
[meter_id] => 1832
)
.....
Thanks in advance!

You can check it in the loop like
for($i=0;$i<=10;$i++)
{
$start_series = strtotime("- $i weeks", $notified_time);
$end_series = strtotime("- $i weeks", $completed_time);
if(strtotime($relocation_date) < $start_series){
$combined[] = array( 'start_time' => date('d-m-Y H:i:s',$start_series),
'end_time' => date('d-m-Y H:i:s',$end_series),
'relocation' => $relocation_date,
'meter_id' =>$old_meter_id,
);
}else{
$combined[] = array( 'start_time' => date('d-m-Y H:i:s',$start_series),
'end_time' => date('d-m-Y H:i:s',$end_series),
'relocation' => $relocation_date,
'meter_id' =>$meter_id,
);
}
}
Hope this is the solution you are looking for
