Hi, I'm looking to have a php script which echoes the html tags for an image depending upon the time. I played around with an if statement which is as follows:

 

	<?php

if (time < 11)

{ ?>

 <img src="image/main/sunrise.jpg" alt="Good morning." width="599" height="488" hspace="30" align="middle" border="4"/>

<?php }

else if (time < 18)

{ ?>

<img src="image/main/day.jpg" alt="Good afternoon." width="599" height="488" hspace="30" align="middle" border="4"/>

<?php }

else if (time < 10)

{ ?>

<img src="image/main/evening.jpg" alt="Good evening." width="599" height="488" hspace="30" align="middle" border="4"/>

<?php } ?>

 

But it just seems to display sunrise despite the fact it is evening now. Also, I'm not sure if this function really works like this? I think this can be done with javascript, but i'd really like to do it in PHP as that means no worries about browser incompatibilities. Thanks in advanced!

if (Hour < 5)
msg ="<img src=image/main/sunrise.jpg alt=Good morning. width=599 height=488 hspace=30 

align=middle border=4/>"
else if(Hour <12)
msg ="<img src=image/main/sunrise.jpg alt=Good morning. width=599 height=488 hspace=30align=middle 

border=4/>"
else if(Hour < 18)
msg ="<img src=image/main/day.jpg alt=Good afternoon. width=599 height=488 hspace=30 align=middle 

border=4/>"
else if (Hour < 24)
msg ="<img src=image/main/evening.jpg alt=Good evening. width=599 height=488 hspace=30

return( msg )
}
document.write(greeting())

<html><head><title></title></head><body>
<font size="4">
<script language=javascript>
<!--
function greeting() {
Now = new Date()
Hour = Now.getHours();
if (Hour < 5)
msg ="<img src=image/main/sunrise.jpg alt=Good morning. width=599 height=488 hspace=30 align=middle border=4/>"
else if(Hour <12)
msg ="<img src=image/main/sunrise.jpg alt=Good morning. width=599 height=488 hspace=30 align=middle border=4/>"
else if(Hour < 18)
msg ="<img src=image/main/day.jpg alt=Good afternoon. width=599 height=488 hspace=30 align=middle border=4/>"
else if (Hour < 24)
msg ="<img src=image/main/evening.jpg alt=Good evening. width=599 height=488 hspace=30 align=middle border=4/>"

Thank you very much for that one. The PHP one I had was working but of course was only basing the image on the server time, not the local visitor time. This javascript version is much better as I have frequent visitors from across the globe to my website, so server time doesn't suffice :P Thanks a lot!
