Question

I am trying to create a PHP code that will execute once every 24 hours. The current CMS that I am using supports this, and it works correctly, whereas, I want to make it a little more complicated.

For one hour, every day, I want a code to execute, which will give special permissions to my users during this one hour.

Once the hour is up, I would like it to revert the changes, taking away the permissions. The users would then need to wait until the next day, when the hour is back.

For example:

<?php

if (!defined('UBER') || !UBER)
{
    exit;
}

dbquery("UPDATE catalog_pages SET visible = '1' WHERE id='91'");
$core->Mus('update_catalogue');

?>

This code executes once every 24 hours, and works fine. It updates the catalogue setting a page to be visible to everyone. I am only stuck on how to make it disappear after the hour is up.

Lets say that the hour is 4.00am to 5.00am.

How would I make the page disappear after 5.00am using a PHP code?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

if (date("G") == '4'){
//give
}elseif (date("G") == '5'){
//takeway
}

or in the query

.. WHERE HOUR(NOW()) BETWEEN 4 AND 5
