Help using localtime()

Dariusz

Can anyone help me out on how to get this time dependent code to work. I
want it to display a greeting depending on the hour of the day (I'm trying
to convert my own Perl code to PHP with no luck on this one). I want it to
use the time of the local computer rather than the server.

Thanks
Dariusz
<?PHP

$greeting = array("Good morning", "Good afternoon", "Good evening");

$LTime = localtime(tm_hour);

if($LTime >= "0" && $LTime < "12")
{
$greet = $greeting[0]; # If morning print greeting Good Morning
}
elseif($LTime >= "12" && $LTime < "18")
{
$greet = $greeting[1]; # If 12 - 5 PM print greeting Good Afternoon
}
elseif($LTime >= "18" && $LTime < "23")
{
$greet = $greeting[2]; # If 6 - 11 PM print greeting Good Evening
}

echo "$greet";

?>

No can do. Unless the local computer sends the time to the server, the
server has no way to know it.
<?PHP

$greeting = array("Good morning", "Good afternoon", "Good evening");

$LTime = localtime(tm_hour);
see http://www.php.net/localtime

$LTime is now an array with information about time on the server

if($LTime >= "0" && $LTime < "12")
This comparison is turned into
if ("Array" >= "0" && "Array" < "12")

{
$greet = $greeting[0]; # If morning print greeting Good Morning
}
elseif($LTime >= "12" && $LTime < "18")
{
$greet = $greeting[1]; # If 12 - 5 PM print greeting Good Afternoon
}
elseif($LTime >= "18" && $LTime < "23")
{
$greet = $greeting[2]; # If 6 - 11 PM print greeting Good Evening
}
What happens between 23:00:00 and 23:59:59 ? :-)

echo "$greet";

?>

How do you think it would get such information?

Use client-side code instead.

<html>
<body>
<script>

now = new Date();
hours = now.getHours();

if(hours < 12) {
greeting = 'Good morning';
}
else if(hours < 18) {
greeting = 'Good afternoon';
}
else {
greeting = 'Good evening';
}

document.write(greeting);

</script>
