help required on - redirect on time - script

[SierraLeoneRadio]

guys,

I'm desperately looking for someone who can help script the following :-

we need a script that will redirect a website visitor according to a specific time of day according to our server clock.

i.e. if it's after 7am, the visitor will get redirected to page A, however if it's before 7am, then visitor will get redirected to page B.

It's important that the time aspect of the script is measured against a central time or clock (i.e. server clock) as opposed to the user's computer clock.

It sounds VERY complicated. Can anybody help?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld

It sounds VERY complicated

au contraire my friend, it is actually very simple.

<?
$hourofday = date(Gi);
if ($hourofday <= 700) $url = "/pageA.html";
else $url = "/pageB.html";

header("Location: $url");
?>

Nice. I like that.

I think you'll want single quotation marks around the Gi though, otherwise PHP is going to throw a notice error:

$hourofday = date('Gi');

good call coopster, forgot about that. ;)

thanks guys for all your help.

I'm a bit green on scripting and have tried what you suggested, but get this error -

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\inetpub\sites\www.**********.net\web\time.php:18)

do you have a blank line before your <?

[SierraLeoneRadio]

cheers
