Set a timer on a login php script

[mariocesar]

Hello, please help, I build a site, you can call it an internal info system for sales reps. (24 sales reps.) is working with a php. login system, each one with his own user and password, there is very private info on close to 20 php. pages about sales and prices, my question is how can I let them get access to the site from 9.00 am to 5.00pm and not access at all on weekends, thank you.

Use the date() function.

 

EG:

<?php
$day = date('l'); # Get day
if ($day == "Saturday" || $day == "Sunday") # If its the weekend, deny access
   echo "No access on weekends, sorry!";
else # If its a weekday, continue processing
  {
     $ampm = date('a'); # Get am or pm
     $hour = date('h'); # Get current hour
     if ($ampm == 'am') # If its am, we want to go through and check the hours allowed in "am".
       {
          if ($hour >= 9 && $hour < 12) # If its after and including 9am, and before 12 am (as 12am is a totally different time), grant access
            {
              echo "You have access";
            }
          else # Deny access
             echo "You do not have access at this particular time, sorry.";
       }
     else # If its pm, check the hours allowed for "pm".
       {
          if ($hour == 12 || $hour < 5) # If the hour is 12pm, or is below 5pm (up to 4.59pm), grant access
            {
              echo "You have access";
            }
          else # Deny access
             echo "You do not have access at this particular time, sorry.";
       }
  }
?>

 

That should work.. its rough, but it'll work I think.

He is an example, haven't tested it though

<?php
$hour = date('H');//hour 1-24
$dayofweek = date('N');//numeric day of week 1=mon, 7=sun
if($hour < 9 || $hour > 16 || $dayofweek > 5) {
    echo 'Could not be logged in. Site is closed';
}else {
    //login code
}
?>

Nice, I can see that should work.

Why didn't I think of 24 hour time? *D'OH!*

Also much smaller than mine.

Thanks, this takes care the week days, from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, how can I block the access on weekends, thank you.

The $dayofweek variable takes care of blocking it on weekends.

Hi the day timing is working but the weekend part is not, still allow access to the users on weekends, any idea why? here is the code

<?php
$hour = date('H');//hour 1-24
$dayofweek = date('N');//numeric day of week 1=mon, 7=sun
if($hour < 9 || $hour > 16 || $dayofweek > 5) {
    echo 'Could not be logged in. Site is closed';
}else {
    //login code
}
?>

 

Thanks.

N only works for PHP 5.1.0, you need to use w if you are on a lower version and you have to check for 0 or 6 instead of greater than 5

The script works fine on my server have you checked the date and time on your server because the script is fine

add in a echo $dayofweek; to see what number you are getting
