How can I show different html based on time of day? perhaps php code? - GoFuckYourself.com

Wolfy · 09-01-2007, 07:52 AM

I need to embed a flash file from 8-midnight CST (server time), and a different bit of html at all other times.

Like

Code:

From 8-midnight embed this movie

then

all other times use this html.

How do I do this?

<? if (date('G') >= 8 && date('G') >= 12) { ?>

Alternate code

<? } else { ?>

Other code

<? } ?>

Damn - I tried the mod rewrite Juicy sent me. It worked fine at first, but it didn't switch it back at the appropriate hour.

You need to set it to run at whatever your server time is, offset from yours. So if the server thinks it's 10, and you think it's 8, you set it for 10. If it didn't work at all, php short tags are off, replace the <? part with <?php and it should work.

Sure it does.
If you need assitance, you can ICQ me for my hourly rate.

Wolfy · 09-01-2007, 07:18 PM

i just sent you an ICQ.

Hopefully your hourly rate is pro-rateable, since this should take you a couple seconds to fix :D

psili · 09-01-2007, 07:37 PM

I suck at programming, so if you try the following, you might be insane.

Code:

<?PHP
 // default to all hours
 $flash = "<object....><embed....></embed></object>";
 // test time frame
 if( date("H") >= 20 && date("H") != 0 ) 
 {
   $flash = "<object...>new shit<embed...>new shit</embed></object>";
 }
?>

Code:

 <html>
   <body>
    <?PHP echo($flash); ?>
   </body>
 </html>

Again, I'll make no excuses for the above blowing up a server. Sorry. I like to bump threads sometimes with uselessnessnessness....ness.

psili · 09-01-2007, 07:47 PM

I do suck at programming... maybe the PHP "if" statement could have simply been:

if( date("H") >= 20 ) // 'H'
{
.. blah blah
}

anyway... back to nonsense.

Hi Wolfy,

Sorry I missed you - I was having dinner and my volume was set too low to notice. Feel free to hit me up. ICQ is in the sig.

There's no need for the leading zeros. 'G' will work fine. This will work until 11:59, but if you want to get pedantic:

Code:

if (date("G") >= "20" || (date("G") == "0" && date("i")  == "00")) {

Hahaha. I love using a text editor that colorizes for me. I've used 'vi' until I switched to KDE, and Kate's my new babe.

psili · 09-01-2007, 09:00 PM

I totally see what you mean. When I was sadly trying to help Wolfy, after looking at his .txt file, I gave him:

if (date("G") >= "20" {

which made his PHP puke -- I missed the right parens. Oh well... that's why there's "programmers" and "script kiddies" (I'll be the latter) to help all others get confused, I guess.
