if (StartDate1 > StartDate2) swap(StartDate, EndDate);

(StartDate1 <= EndDate2) and (StartDate2 <= EndDate1);

只要有简单的解决方案，仅仅使用额外的包来做简单的事情可能效率不高。但是，如果您已经在项目中使用了日期fns，那么有一个名为areIntervalsOverlapping的方法也会执行同样的操作。

语法：

areIntervalsOverlapping(intervalLeft, intervalRight, [options])

例子：

// For overlapping time intervals:
areIntervalsOverlapping(
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 10), end: new Date(2014, 0, 20) },
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 17), end: new Date(2014, 0, 21) }
)
//=> 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);

这里还有一个使用JavaScript的解决方案。我的解决方案的特点：

将空值处理为无穷大假设下限是包含的，上限是不包含的。附带一系列测试

这些测试基于整数，但由于JavaScript中的日期对象是可比较的，因此您也可以添加两个日期对象。或者您可以输入毫秒时间戳。

代码：

/**
 * Compares to comparable objects to find out whether they overlap.
 * It is assumed that the interval is in the format [from,to) (read: from is inclusive, to is exclusive).
 * A null value is interpreted as infinity
 */
function intervalsOverlap(from1, to1, from2, to2) {
    return (to2 === null || from1 < to2) && (to1 === null || to1 > from2);
}

测验：

describe('', function() {
    function generateTest(firstRange, secondRange, expected) {
        it(JSON.stringify(firstRange) + ' and ' + JSON.stringify(secondRange), function() {
            expect(intervalsOverlap(firstRange[0], firstRange[1], secondRange[0], secondRange[1])).toBe(expected);
        });
    }

    describe('no overlap (touching ends)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [20,30], false);
        generateTest([20,30], [10,20], false);

        generateTest([10,20], [20,null], false);
        generateTest([20,null], [10,20], false);

        generateTest([null,20], [20,30], false);
        generateTest([20,30], [null,20], false);
    });

    describe('do overlap (one end overlaps)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [19,30], true);
        generateTest([19,30], [10,20], true);

        generateTest([10,20], [null,30], true);
        generateTest([10,20], [19,null], true);
        generateTest([null,30], [10,20], true);
        generateTest([19,null], [10,20], true);
    });

    describe('do overlap (one range included in other range)', function() {
        generateTest([10,40], [20,30], true);
        generateTest([20,30], [10,40], true);

        generateTest([10,40], [null,null], true);
        generateTest([null,null], [10,40], true);
    });

    describe('do overlap (both ranges equal)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [10,20], true);

        generateTest([null,20], [null,20], true);
        generateTest([10,null], [10,null], true);
        generateTest([null,null], [null,null], true);
    });
});

使用karma&jasmine&PhantomJS运行时的结果：

PhantomJS 1.9.8（Linux）：执行20次成功（0.003秒/0.004秒）

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
