I want to restrict access to these links between 6pm and 6am
Here is what I have:

PHP Code:

echo "<div class='head'>Services</div>";

if($timcheck > "6pm" || $timcheck < "6am"){

     echo "<div class='content'><center><b>Forms are offline</b></center></div>";

}else{

     echo "<div class='content'><center><a href='signup.php?op=web'>Web Hosting</a><br>

<a href='signup.php?op=ts'>Teamspeak Hosting</a></center></div>";

} 

and this doesn't work it always says Forms are offline can I make it so it only works off my timezone (-600)?

how are you populating the variable $timcheck? because appearntly php is treating 6pm and 6am as "6" only!
if you want to make something depending on your own time zone, then use gmdate()

could some one teach me how to do that?

[NeverMind]

still, you have not answered my question. how are you generating the time in your script?

PHP Code:

$timcheck = date("ha"); 

I think i should use military timeinstead of am/pm

Give this a try.

PHP Code:

$now = date("G");
if(($now > 6) OR ($now < 12)) {
 echo("<div class=\"content\" align=\"center\" style=\"font-weight: Bold;\">Forms are offline</div>\n");
} else {
 echo("<div class=\"content\" align=\"center\">");
 echo("<a href=\"signup.php?op=web\">Web Hosting</a><br /><a href=\"signup.php?op=ts\">Teamspeak Hosting</a>");
 echo("</div>\n");
} 

By using the function date with a param of "G", you are asigning a "24-hour format of an hour without leading zeros". The only kicker is, this is the server time, which may not be your local time. If you server is in another timezone, you may have to adjust the 6 and 12 above.

Hope that helps. And sorry for the style change. I'm a bugger like that.

The only problem with that is the people in the uk or other side of the world will see if because the date(); function goes off thier computer not the server.

that is not true..
PHP is server side and nothing executes in the user's end.

Well I can't get this to work eather i still need more help.

what is your timezone from GMT?
and what is your server's timezone? when you print a regular date() what is the difference between the time displayed and your local time?
