help display a message according to time of day.

[gamma911]

HI there

 

I would like to display a message according to the time of day, ( to coincide with a deadline of 4pm Tuesday)

so if it is

Monday = monday

Tuesday before 4pm = Tuesday

Tuesday after 4pm = tuesday after 4pm

Wednseday = wednesday

Thursday = Thursday

Friday = friday

Saturday = saturday

Sunday = sunday

 

Totally stumped as the code always returns monday

 

{php}
	putenv('TZ=Europe/London');		
	echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A'); 
	?><br /><?

$monday = "monday";
$tuesday = "tuesday before 4";
$tuesdayafterfour = "tuesday after 4";
$wednesday = "wednesday ";
$thursday = "thursday ";
$friday = "friday ";
$saturday ="saturday";
$sunday ="sunday";


//Get the current hour
$current_time = date(G);
//Get the current day
$current_day = date(l);


if  ($current_day = "Tuesday" && $current_time >= 16) {
echo $tuesdayafterfour;
}

elseif ($current_day = "Monday") {
echo $monday;
}	

elseif ($current_day = "Tuesday") {
echo $tuesday;
}	

elseif ($current_day = "Wednesday") {
echo $wednesday;
}	

elseif ($current_day = "Thursday") {
echo $thursday;
}	

elseif ($current_day = "Friday") {
echo $friday;
}	

elseif ($current_day = "Saturday") {
echo $saturday;
}	

elseif ($current_day = "Sunday") {
echo $sunday;
}	

{/php}

 

Any ideas will be great

[Mchl]

if  ($current_day = "Tuesday" && $current_time >= 16) {

 

should be

 

if  ($current_day == "Tuesday" && $current_time >= 16) {

 

same for other ifs

[gamma911]

Sorry can you check your reply? the code is the same?

[Mchl]

Look closer

[gamma911]

so double = for all ifs?

[Mchl]

Yes.

 

== means compare

 

= means assign

 

Also, you might want to take a look at switch

Sorry I'm super new when it comes to php.

		{php}
	putenv('TZ=Europe/London');		
	echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A'); 
	?><br /><?
	//Change the messages to what you want.
$monday = "monday";
$tuesday = "tuesday before 4 ";
$tuesdayafterfour = "tuesday after 4";
$wednesday = "wednesday ";
$thursday = "thursday ";
$friday = "friday ";
$saturday ="satur";
$sunday ="sunday";

//No need to edit any further

//Get the current hour
$current_time = date(G);
//Get the current day
$current_day = date(l);

//12 p.m. - 4 p.m.
if  ($current_day == "Tuesday" && $current_time >= 16) {
echo $tuesdayafterfour;
}
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day == "Monday") {
echo $monday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day == "Tuesday") {
echo $tuesday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day == "Wednesday") {
echo $wednesday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day == "Thursday") {
echo $thursday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day == "Friday") {
echo $friday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day == "Saturday") {
echo $saturday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day == "Sunday") {
echo $sunday;
}	

{/php}

 

That does now display Friday - but is it possible to change the time on the server for this statement to see if Tuesday 4pm will work?

[Mchl]

$time = strtotime("12-10-2008 15:47");
//Get the current hour
$current_time = date(G,$time);
//Get the current day
$current_day = date(l,$time);

[DarkerAngel]

//Get the current hour
$current_time = date(G, 1227054540);
//Get the current day
$current_day = date(l, 1227054540);

the timestamp "1227054540" is next tuesday @ 6:29PM

$time = strtotime("12-10-2008 15:47");
//Get the current hour
$current_time = date(G,$time);
//Get the current day
$current_day = date(l,$time);

Thats a wednesday lol before 4PM at that

[Mchl]

I just put random date I figure, that gamma911 can change it to whatever he wants

[gamma911]

Thanks but it's still not working right.

$monday = "monday";
$tuesday = "tuesday before 4 ";
$tuesdayafterfour = "tuesday after 4";
$wednesday = "wednesday ";
$thursday = "thursday ";
$friday = "friday ";
$saturday ="satur";
$sunday ="sunday";

//No need to edit any further

//Get the current hour
$time = strtotime("13-10-2008 15:47");
$current_time = date(G,$time);
//Get the current day
$current_day = date(l,$time);

//12 p.m. - 4 p.m.
if  ($current_day == "Tuesday" && $current_time >= 16) {
echo $tuesdayafterfour;
}
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day = "Monday") {
echo $monday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day = "Tuesday") {
echo $tuesday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day = "Wednesday") {
echo $wednesday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day = "Thursday") {
echo $thursday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day = "Friday") {
echo $friday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day = "Saturday") {
echo $saturday;
}	
//If it's Friday, display a message
elseif ($current_day = "Sunday") {
echo $sunday;
}	

{/php}

 

With that code and date its displaying Monday.

[DarkerAngel]

Have you tried the code I gave you?

//Get the current hour
$current_time = date(G, 1227054540);
//Get the current day
$current_day = date(l, 1227054540);

???

[gamma911]

Yes I have - still displays Monday. When it should display Tuesday?

*cough* all your comparison need ==

 

Yes.

 

== means compare

 

= means assign

 

Also, you might want to take a look at switch

[thebadbad]

You also forgot quotes around some date() parameters. switch() approach:

 

{php}

putenv('TZ=Europe/London');
echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A') . '<br />';

switch(date('l')) {
case 'Monday':
	echo 'Monday';
	break;
case 'Tuesday':
	if (date('G') >= 16) {
		echo 'Tuesday after 4';
	} else {
		echo 'Tuesday before 4';
	}
	break;
case 'Wednesday':
	echo 'Wednesday';
	break;
case 'Thursday':
	echo 'Thursday';
	break;
case 'Friday':
	echo 'Friday';
	break;
case 'Saturday':
	echo 'Saturday';
	break;
case 'Sunday':
	echo 'Sunday';
	break;
}

check this 

<?php

$TimeZone="8"; ////Change the TimeZone accordingly!
$New_Time = time() + ($TimeZone * 60 * 60);

$show_date=date("D dS F, Y",$New_Time); 
$show_time=date("H:i",$New_Time); 
$Hour=date("G",$New_Time);

echo $show_date;
echo"<br/>";
echo $show_time;
echo"<br/>";

////////////////////////////////////////
//Here you can change the messages/////
//add lines with different hours etc// 
//You could even display a different/
////////message every hour./////////

if ($Hour <= 4) { echo 'Hello Night Rider'; } 

else if ($Hour <= 11) { echo 'Good morning'; } 

else if ($Hour <= 12) { echo 'Enjoy your lunch!'; }

else if ($Hour <= 17) { echo 'Good afternoon'; } 

else if ($Hour <= 23) { echo 'Good Evening'; }
