title: Checking dates if between range of dates in Laravel 5
body: <p>I have a <code>booked</code> table with <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> column as datestamps;</p>
  
  <p>I know that this</p>
  
  <pre><code>$start = "2015-07-12 01:00:00";
  $end = "2015-07-12 02:00:00";
  
  $users = DB::table('booked')
                      -&gt;whereBetween('start', [$start, $end])-&gt;get();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>checks for any dates in <code>start</code> column that falls within $start and $end.  </p>
  
  <p>What I want is actually the other way.  </p>
  
  <p>Am having difficulty checking for $start and $end date variables occurrences in <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> columns in <code>book</code> table.</p>
