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');
?>
