本文《.NET时间段库》通过枚举PeriodRelation描述了两个时间段之间的关系：

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
public enum PeriodRelation
{
    After,
    StartTouching,
    StartInside,
    InsideStartTouching,
    EnclosingStartTouching,
    Enclosing,
    EnclosingEndTouching,
    ExactMatch,
    Inside,
    InsideEndTouching,
    EndInside,
    EndTouching,
    Before,
} // enum PeriodRelation

我会的

StartDate1.IsBetween(StartDate2, EndDate2) || EndDate1.IsBetween(StartDate2, EndDate2)

IsBetween是这样的

    public static bool IsBetween(this DateTime value, DateTime left, DateTime right) {
        return (value > left && value < right) || (value < left && value > right);
    }

这是我使用moment.js的javascript解决方案：

// Current row dates
var dateStart = moment("2014-08-01", "YYYY-MM-DD");
var dateEnd = moment("2014-08-30", "YYYY-MM-DD");

// Check with dates above
var rangeUsedStart = moment("2014-08-02", "YYYY-MM-DD");
var rangeUsedEnd = moment("2014-08-015", "YYYY-MM-DD");

// Range covers other ?
if((dateStart <= rangeUsedStart) && (rangeUsedEnd <= dateEnd)) {
    return false;
}
// Range intersects with other start ?
if((dateStart <= rangeUsedStart) && (rangeUsedStart <= dateEnd)) {
    return false;
}
// Range intersects with other end ?
if((dateStart <= rangeUsedEnd) && (rangeUsedEnd <= dateEnd)) {
    return false;
}

// All good
return true;

你可以试试这个：

//custom date for example
$d1 = new DateTime("2012-07-08");
$d2 = new DateTime("2012-07-11");
$d3 = new DateTime("2012-07-08");
$d4 = new DateTime("2012-07-15");

//create a date period object
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = iterator_to_array(new DatePeriod($d1, $interval, $d2));
$daterange1 = iterator_to_array(new DatePeriod($d3, $interval, $d4));
array_map(function($v) use ($daterange1) { if(in_array($v, $daterange1)) print "Bingo!";}, $daterange);

简单的解决方案：

compare the two dates: 
    A = the one with smaller start date, B = the one with bigger start date
if(A.end < B.start)
    return false
return true
