Note Submitter: weeblesue at aol dot com Reason: useless ---- I needed to redirect a registration page based on time and date. I set the meeting date, and set the cutoff to be 2 days prior to that, at 4 pm (i.e. meeting = Thursday, cutoff = Tuesday at 4 PM). I needed to automatically redirect the page Tuesday at 4 pm (sorry you missed registration), then again after the meeting was over (wait till next month). This is what I came up with. So far, it works! Not bad for my first php script! Anyway, the pages I redirect the users to have script to verify that it's valid - so they can't just enter the registration page URL and register after the deadline. <?php $meeting_date = strtotime("September 27 2007"); //Change this line only $cutoff = $meeting_date - 115200; //this takes us to 4 pm 2 days before $now = time()-3600; //adjust from server time to my time - just one zone off If ($now <= $cutoff) header('Location: http://www.site.com/register.php'); else if ($now > $cutoff && $now < $meeting_date) header('Location: http://www.site.com/Done.php'); else header('Location: http://www.site.com/NotReady.php'); ?>
