Time Based PHP Greetings

By Angela Bradley, About.com Guide

Before we can greet the user based upon the time of day, we first need to find out what time of day it is.

 <?php 
 $b = time(); 
 $hour = date("g",$b); 
 $m = date ("A", $b); 

First we get the timestamp for the current date using the time () function. For the purpose of our script the only important parts are the hour and the AM/PM. We set a variable for each of these aspects of the time.
