Need some help with a piece of PHP code

[Tech Guy]

Ok, I have have a simple PHP code that displays the current time depending on the time offset that I set it. Due to the fact that I'm pretty new at PHP, I have no clue how to do this, but have a general idea, so I wonder if you guys might be able to help me. What I want the code to do, is whenever the time is between 9:00 and 21:30 is prints the text out green, and when the time is not between those two times it prints out red. Not entirely sure how I would go about doing this. TIA.

Here is the code:

$hourdiff = "0"; // hours difference between server time and local time $timeadjust = ($hourdiff * 60 * 60); $melbdate = date(" H:i",time() + $timeadjust); print ("$melbdate"); ?>

P.S. I have the open PHP bracket but it doesn't show up in the quote.

Well, after looking at the code, and checking on some things, I realized that I could use if statements. I love IF statements . Here is my finished working PHP code .

<?php $hourdiff = "0"; // hours difference between server time and local time $timeadjust = ($hourdiff * 60 * 60); $melbdate = date(/" H:i/",time() + $timeadjust); IF ($melbdate < " 09:00" || $mebdate >= " 21:30") { ?> <FONT COLOR="FF0000"> <?php print ("$melbdate"); } else { ?> <FONT COLOR="33CC00"> <?php print ("$melbdate"); } ?>

Looks good--you did forget the l in the second $melbdate in the IF statement though.

Yeah, I didn't realize that until 9:30 tonight when it didn't change to red, so I went back and realized that it was missing. Spelling mistakes rule.

They're the worst, especially if you don't notice it right away. I've yelled at my computer for hours before realizing I spelled the variable wrong.
