OK, I've been trying to work out how elseif works. Read lots of tutes but here’s where I’ve got to and hopefully this will work.

Lets say that each day of the week I want to place a notice on my home page about when UK Markets take place:

The notices would be as follows:

  • Mon = It Is London Market Day Today!
  • Tue = The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in Glasgow!
  • Wed = It Is Glasgow Market Day Today!
  • Thu = The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in Cardiff!
  • Fri = It Is Cardiff Market Day today and Leeds Market Day tomorrow!
  • Sat = It Is Leeds Market Day Today!
  • Sun = The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in London!

What I need to know is - would this code actually do that?


Code: [ Select ]
<?php
  $d=date("D");
  if ($d=="Mon")
   echo "It Is London Market Day Today!";
  elseif ($d=="Tue")
   echo "The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in Glasgow!";
  elseif ($d=="Wed")
   echo "It Is Glasgow Market Day Today!";
  elseif ($d=="Thu")
   echo "The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in Cardiff!";
  elseif ($d=="Fri")
   echo "It Is Cardiff Market Day today and Leeds Market Day tomorrow!";
  elseif ($d=="Sat")
   echo "It Is Leeds Market Day Today!";
  elseif ($d=="Sun")
   echo "The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in London!";
  ?>
  1. <?php
  2.   $d=date("D");
  3.   if ($d=="Mon")
  4.    echo "It Is London Market Day Today!";
  5.   elseif ($d=="Tue")
  6.    echo "The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in Glasgow!";
  7.   elseif ($d=="Wed")
  8.    echo "It Is Glasgow Market Day Today!";
  9.   elseif ($d=="Thu")
  10.    echo "The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in Cardiff!";
  11.   elseif ($d=="Fri")
  12.    echo "It Is Cardiff Market Day today and Leeds Market Day tomorrow!";
  13.   elseif ($d=="Sat")
  14.    echo "It Is Leeds Market Day Today!";
  15.   elseif ($d=="Sun")
  16.    echo "The next weekly market in UK is tomorrow in London!";
  17.   ?>


If that works - how about this:

Let’s say I want to create a new notice every hour. I tried this code and it definitely does not work:

Code: [ Select ]
<?php
  $d=h:i A ("h:i A");
  if ($d>="06:00")
   echo "It Is Between 6 and 7";
  elseif ($d>="07:00")
   echo "It Is Between 7 and 8";
  elseif ($d>="08:00")
   echo "It Is Between 8 and 9";
  elseif ($d>="09:00")
   echo "It Is Between 9 and 10";
else echo “What time is it?”;
  ?>
  1. <?php
  2.   $d=h:i A ("h:i A");
  3.   if ($d>="06:00")
  4.    echo "It Is Between 6 and 7";
  5.   elseif ($d>="07:00")
  6.    echo "It Is Between 7 and 8";
  7.   elseif ($d>="08:00")
  8.    echo "It Is Between 8 and 9";
  9.   elseif ($d>="09:00")
  10.    echo "It Is Between 9 and 10";
  11. else echo “What time is it?”;
  12.   ?>


What am I doing wrong?... apart from being dumb.

Thanks

Your first code should work but I might change it up and use a switch statement instead.

The first problem I see with your second set of code is how your finding the current hour.

Code: [ Select ]
$d=h:i A ("h:i A");


First of all your missing the date() function. Also if your just looking for the current hour I would just use G - 24 hour format, or g - 12 hour format. If your also planning on checking the minutes, I would store the minutes in a separate variable and keep the time format out of your logic.
#define NULL (::rand() % 2)

Thanks.. got me on the right track...

Code: [ Select ]
<?php
  $d=date("G");
  if ($d=="18")
   echo "It Is Between 6 and 7";
  elseif ($d=="19")
   echo "It Is Between 7 and 8";
  elseif ($d=="20")
   echo "It Is Between 8 and 9";
  elseif ($d=="21")
   echo "It Is Between 9 and 10";
       elseif ($d=="22")
   echo "It Is Between 10 and 11";
else echo "What time is it?";
  ?>
  1. <?php
  2.   $d=date("G");
  3.   if ($d=="18")
  4.    echo "It Is Between 6 and 7";
  5.   elseif ($d=="19")
  6.    echo "It Is Between 7 and 8";
  7.   elseif ($d=="20")
  8.    echo "It Is Between 8 and 9";
  9.   elseif ($d=="21")
  10.    echo "It Is Between 9 and 10";
  11.        elseif ($d=="22")
  12.    echo "It Is Between 10 and 11";
  13. else echo "What time is it?";
  14.   ?>


I’ll take a look at the switch statement tomorrow... I’m thirsty and it’s beer time.

Cheers
