Morning, afternoon, evening php help

[Chris S]

I have the following code and it is supposed to tell you the "time of day" basically morning, afternoon, or evening but it keeps on poping out morning

$date = date("G");
echo $date;

if (($date) == '01' OR '02' OR '03' OR '04' OR '05' OR '06' OR '07' OR '08' OR '09' OR '10' OR '11' OR '12'){
$time = 'morning';
}elseif('13' OR '14' OR '15' OR '16' OR '17' OR '18'){
$time = 'afternoon';
}elseif('19' OR '20' OR '21' OR '22' OR '23' OR '24'){
$time = 'evening';
}else{
$time = 'sorry';
}

Not a PHP guru but are you sure its a 24 hour clock?

[Chris S]

ya i made that mistake earlier. G is 24 with leading zero

Why not like..

if ($date <= 09) {
   $time = 'morning';
}
elseif ($date >= 10) AND ($date <= 18) {
   $time = 'afternoon';
}
elseif($date >= 19) {
   $time = 'evening';
}
else{
   $time = 'sorry';
} 

I havent' tested it.. But you should get the idea.

Why don't you play yourself to learn PHP then?
