Sending email help

[maddtechwf]

I'm using PHPMailer and it works great.  The only issue I'm having is that I need to add an extra recipient back on the time of day and whether it's the weekend.  Currently I'm using:

if((date("G") < 6) OR (date("G") > 17) OR (date("N") === 6) OR (date("N") === 7))
{
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'My Name');
}

I need to add this person if it's before 6AM or after 5PM during the week and any time on Saturday and Sunday.

 

Can anyone help me with this logic?

I tried to rewrite it just now.  Was hoping someone could tell me if this logic will work.

if(date("l") == Saturday) OR (date("l") == Sunday)) // Runs if it's Saturday or Sunday
{
     $mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'My Name');
} else {
     if((date("H") < 6) OR (date("H") > 17)) //Checks if before 6AM or after 5PM
     {
           $mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'My Name');
     }
}

Not quite because you didn't put quotes around the Saturday or Sunday strings in your comparisons.

[tryingtolearn]

also looks like 

date("H") > 17

wont trigger until it is 6:00 pm, not after 5:00 pm

 

do you need to factor in holidays for this?

[tryingtolearn]

Im sure there are other ways but here is a stab at something to try..

 

Set the off days, and holiday arrays and change the start and stop times to suit your needs

//Set the days off here [i.e. 'Monday', 'Tuesday'.... or 'Wednesday', 'Saturday'...]
$offDays = array('Sunday','Saturday');

//Set the holidays here [Full month and Date]
$holiday = array('January 1', 'March 5', 'April 7');

//Business Hours 
$date = date_create(date('Y-m-d'));
$setNow = date_time_set($date, date('H'),date('i'),date('s'));
$nowTime = date_format($setNow, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');


//set the time you open [If you open at 5:00 a.m. set 5, 0, 0 - if you open at 10:30 a.m. set 10, 30, 0]
$setStart = date_time_set($date, 6, 0, 0);
$startTime = date_format($setStart, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

//set the time you close [If you close at 5:00 p.m. set 17, 0, 0 - if you close at 10:30 p.m. set 22, 30, 0]
$setStop = date_time_set($date, 17, 0, 0);
$stopTime = date_format($setStop, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');



if( ($nowTime > $startTime && $nowTime < $stopTime) && (!in_array(date('l'), $offDays)) && (!in_array(date('F d'), $holiday)) ){
    //normal busines hour code
    echo"We are open";
}else{
    //after hours / weekend / holiday code
    echo"We are closed";
}

Hi Tryingtolearn,

 

I really appreciate the code above.  I'm trying to modify the last part of the code to only add an email recipient if it's outside of the start and end time and only on Saturday and Sunday.

 

This is what I came up with.

     $offDays = array('Sunday', 'Saturday');
			
     //Business Hours
     $date = date_create(date('Y-m-d'));
     $setNow = date_time_set($date, date('H'),date('i'),date('s'));
     $nowTime = date_format($setNow, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
			
     $setStart = date_time_set($date, 6, 0, 0);
     $startTime = date_format($setStart, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
			
     $setStop = date_time_set($date, 17, 0, 0);
     $stopTime = date_format($setStop, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
			
     if(($nowTime < $startTime && $nowTime > $stopTime) OR (in_array(date('l'), $offDays))
     {
          $mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'My Name');
     }

Change

if(($nowTime < $startTime && $nowTime > $stopTime) OR (in_array(date('l'), $offDays)) 

to

if(($nowTime < $startTime || $nowTime > $stopTime) || (in_array(date('l'), $offDays)))
