[RESOLVED] Better way to work out day and time

[gaugelive]

Hi, I am using the below if conditional to load differrent code based on the time of day.

I was looking for suggestions for a better way to code this ?
Based on the below i would end up with 6 if statements for each day of the week.

Thanks.

<?php
$today = date("n");
$hour = date("G");

$sun = 1;
$mon = 2;
$tue = 3;
$wed = 4;
$thu = 5;
$fri = 6;
$sat = 7;

$open_time = 9;
$close_time = 17;

if ($today == $mon && $hour >= $open_time && $hour <= $close_time) {
	print "Monday page code";
}

else {
print "Closed code";	
}

?> 

I'have been working on doing it this way with a switch but i need advice on the best way to do this.

switch ($day_of_week) {
	case ($day_of_week == 2 && $hour_of_day >= 9 && $hour_of_day <= 17);
	print "Monday";
	break;
}

This does the same thing

<?php
$hour = date("G");

$open_time = 9;
$close_time = 17;

if ($hour >= $open_time && $hour <= $close_time) {
	print date('l')." page code";
}

else {
	print "Closed code";
}

?>

Thanks, thats not exactly what i am trying to do.
I had only included one if conditional in my code above but i intended on having one for each day of the week.

I need to page open code to load Mon-Fri between 9am and 5pm and the closed code for all other times of the day.

So you have a set time that you want people to see your site right? okay.... Monday through Friday is date('w') 1 - 5.....

SO you can say this:

<?php
$open = strtotime('9:00 am'); // Set the open time
$closed = strtotime('5:00 pm'); // Set the close time
$now = time(); // Set the current timestamp

if(date('w') !=0 && date('w') != 6)
{
  if($now > $open && $now < $closed)
  {
    // You're open, show your website
    echo 'Welcome!!';
  }
  else
  {
    // You're closed, don't show the website
    echo 'Currently we are closed.  We\'ll re-open at 9 am next business day!';
  }
}

That is only a slight variation of what rincewind gave you......
