PHP Time Thingy..

[LMS16]

Hey,

A little tricky question (or simple )
Ive got a script that I am running on a 5 minute cron & want it only to run after 07:30 and to stop running after 20:00.

How would I make PHP do this?

I thought of something like..

if(date("H:i") >= date("H:i", "07:30") && date("H:i") <= date("H:i", "20:00")){
    echo "The time is after 07:30 and before 20:00";
    exit();
}else{
    echo "The time is before 07:30 or after 20:00";
    exit();
} 

Doesnt work though :S someone help? +REP !

Lew.

This should hopefully work

<?php

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/London");

if ((int)date("Hi") >= 0730 && (int)date("Hi") <= 2000){ 
    echo "The time is after 07:30 and before 20:00"; 
    exit(); 
}else{ 
    echo "The time is before 07:30 or after 20:00"; 
    exit(); 
}  

?>
