time of day

[Brian]

I need to print a section of an html page only if the time is after
5:00am and before 9:00pm local time (Seattle, WA: GMT -0800 during
standard time, GMT -0700 during daylight savings time). I found a
bewildering number of functions for getting local or GMT timestamps,
and formatting them. But I can't find anything that will return the
time of day. Am I missing something obvious? Or must I put together my
own function to get time of day?

Naturally, I find gettimeofday() moments after pressing the send
button. ;-) Still trying to figure this one out, and see if it will
meet my nees. It returns local time, but the local time of the server
is not the same as the local time of the client, so it could get dicey.

I'm trying to put something together, but getting unexpected results.
Below are script excerpts, followed by the output I see in my browser.
The local timezone is US edt (GMT -0400). When I ran the script, it
was Monday, 15:38 (3:38pm). I'm not sure why the hour difference in
Seattle was off; I was expecting Monday 12:38 (12:38pm).

<?php
$local = getdate();
print "<P>".$loca l[weekday];
print "<P>".$loca l[hours];
print "<P>";
print_r($local) ;
?>

Monday

15

Array ( [seconds] => 29 [minutes] => 38 [hours] => 15 [mday] => 26
[wday] => 1 [mon] => 7 [year] => 2004 [yday] => 207 [weekday] =>
Monday [month] => July [0] => 1090870709 )

<?php

$hoursFromGMT = 8-date(I);
print "hours from GMT ".$hoursFromGMT ;
$pacificTimesta mp = (gmmktime() - ($hoursFromGMT* 60*60));

$seattle = getdate($pacifi cTimestamp);
print "<P>".$seat tle[weekday];
print "<P>".$seat tle[hours];
print "<P>";
print_r($seattl e);

?>

hours from GMT 7

Monday

4

Array ( [seconds] => 29 [minutes] => 38 [hours] => 4 [mday] => 26
[wday] => 1 [mon] => 7 [year] => 2004 [yday] => 207 [weekday] =>
Monday [month] => July [0] => 1090831109 )
