Variable value based on time of day

I have a variable that I want to change based on the time of day. For example, it would have a specific value from 12:00mn to 7:00am and another value from 7:00am to 12:00mn, and so on and so forth. How do I do this?

PHP Code:


		
			
$my_date = intval(date("H"));



if( $my_date >= 0 && $my_date <= 6)

{

    // do stuff for midnight to 7am

}

if( $my_date >= 7 && $my_date <= 23)

{

    // do stuff for 7am to midnight

}

something like that maybe?

Can this go inside the template or the PHP files? How do I get the variable from the PHP to the template? Thanks!

You can put it in global_start and it will be available in almost all templates.

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">Thanks! How do you now display this variable in the template?</span>Never mind, I used template conditionals instead. Thanks!

Well, if for example the code you put into global_start looked like

PHP Code:


		
			
$my_date = intval(date("H")); 



if( $my_date >= 0 && $my_date <= 6) 

{ 

    $coolvariable = "Its between midnight and 7am"; 

} 

if( $my_date >= 7 && $my_date <= 23) 

{ 

    $coolvariable = "Its between 7 am and midnight";

}

You would just simply put $coolvariable in a template, for example, navbar.

I couldn't get to display it inside a script tag by using:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php print $coolvariable; ?>

nonono, just use $coolvariable inside templates. (by itself)
