[code=php]
<?php
$day = (int) date('N');
$hour = (int) date('H');
if($date < 1 or $date > 5 or $hour < 19 or $hour > 20)
{
echo "<p>This page is only viewable Mon.-Fri. from 7pm to 9pm Eastern US time</p>";
exit; // alternatively, don't exit but instead use an else block for the rest of the page
}
// rest of page here...
[/code]
Of course, you'll want to flesh it out to make sure the HTML is complete and valid, but this should give you something to work with.

Is that bad practice?

@sb_Dec 03.2006 — something like this perhaps?

<i>
</i>function TimeCheck($Allowed = array())
{
$now = time();
foreach($Allowed as $key =&gt; $value)
{
if($now &gt; $Allowed[$key] &amp;&amp; $now &lt; $Allowed[++$key])
{
return true;
} <br/>
}
return false;
}


Disclamer, I'm tired and that is untested.

@yitzleDec 03.2006 — I think its more like:
[code=php]
function TimeCheck($Allowed = array())
{
$day = (int) date('N');
$hour = (int) date('H');
return $allowed[$day]->[$hour] == 1;
}[/code]
or
[code=php]
$day = (int) date('N');
$hour = (int) date('H');
if ($allowed[$day]->[$hour]) echo file_get_contents("./MyPage.html");
else echo file_get_contents("./CheckLater");
[/code]

@bokehDec 03.2006 — [code=php]$allowed[$day]->[$hour] == 1;[/code][/QUOTE]That's not valid syntax. What's it supposed to be doing?

@yitzleDec 03.2006 — Oops. That's Perl.

It (in Perl) would check to see if the hour inside the day is set to '1'.

Success!
