  1. Make a webpage on which the user can enter his or her name. After the user has clicked on the submit button, a new webpage should appear which welcome him or her with either one of the following messages: "Good morning, [name] !", "Good afternoon, [name] !" or "Good evening, [name] !". The greeting should of course depend on the current time. To read the current hour (in 24 hour format), you can use the following built-in function: date(H).

I'm not going to give you the code but I will split the question into easy to follow step to achieve the set task.

  • Create a form with an input field for the name. Set the forms  action  attribute to submit.php (or to the name of your .php file) and set the forms  method  attribute to  post   then name the input field  name.
  • In the .php file your form submits to use the  $_POST['name']  superglobal variable to get the name and assign it to variable, eg  $name = $_POST['name'];
  • Assign the suggest date code to a variable, name the variable hour, eg  $hour = date('H');
  • To display the appropriate greeting depending on time of day ( $hour ). You need to use a if/elseif/else statement using the less then or greater than comparison operator(s) for comparing $hour. Example pseudo code
  • if $hour < 12 {
       echo "Good morning $name"
    }
    elseif $hour >= 12 && $hour < 16 {
       echo "Good afternoon $name"
    }
    else {
       echo "Good Evening $name"
    }
