Insert text depending on time of day and day of week.
- by ploughansen
I'm trying to piece together a php script to output different text depending on what day it is and the time of day.
Example:
On weekdays (mon-fri), I would like to output text according to the following periods of time (24H, server time, UTC):
00:00-08:00: "Lorem ipsum"
08:00-13:00: "dolor sit amet"
13:00-15:00: "Pellentesque habitant"
15:00-15:30: "dolor sit amet"
15:30-24:00: "Lorem ipsum"
On weekends (sat-sun), I would like to output the following text in this time period:
00:00-24:00 "Lorem ipsum"
Can anyone help with a php script to do that?
I've already gotten some help over at the css-tricks forum. They supplied this code:
<?php
$date = strtotime("now");
$hour = date("H", $date);
switch($hour) {
case 00:
case 01:
case 02:
case 03:
case 04:
case 05:
case 06:
case 07:
case 08:
$dets = array("img" => "image1.png", "txt" => "Lorem ipsum");
break;
case 09:
case 10:
case 11:
case 12:
case 13:
$dets = array("img" => "image2.png", "txt" => "dolor sit amet");
break;
case 14:
case 15:
case 16:
$dets = array("img" => "image3.png", "txt" => "Pellentesque habitant");
break;
case 17:
case 18:
case 19:
case 20:
case 21:
case 22:
case 23:
case 24:
$dets = array("img" => "image1.png", "txt" => "Lorem ipsum");
break;
}
echo "<img src='$dets[img]' alt='$dets[txt]' />";
?>
But it works for all days, and only in full hours. I want to be able to specify per half-hour and on a day to day basis.
Still a php-noob so I'm hoping someone can help me.
