For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
getdate () problem

Posted by bschultz (bschultz), 14 August 2003
The following code echo's the echo statement, no matter what day or time it is.  Am I missing something?

Code:
<?php


  $current_day = getdate();

//This is set for Thursday's between noon and 6pm

if($current_day["wday"] = 4){

}

if($current_day["hours"] > 12 && $current_day["hours"] <= 18) {

echo "It's Thursday, between noon and 6pm";

}

// end of Thursday's between noon and 6pm

?>


Thanks.

Brian

a) Looks like you're testing between midday and 7 pm rather than 6pm (the hour is <= 18 until 7 O'clock!).

b) Is the server in the same time zone that your browsing from?  Remember that the time you'll be getting will be server time

c) You're testing for day 4 and closing the block straight away, so you're saying that it's Thursday even when it's not.  Move the 1st }
down after the echo statement.

Thanks, Graham...


I HATE those stupid little {'s and }'s.  I can't rememeber which one to use when...and where to use them!  

Thank you!
