I have a coding matter i need your aid with. I have attempted to solve it for a few days, but all it results in is frustration. I haven't found any existing examples or help on the internet, and all i have done so far is staring at my code, my mind blank.
I need a countdown to 17:00 (5 PM) each day, echoing a message saying that a certain amount of time is remaining until 17:00. After 17:00, i want to echo another message. Then, the timer needs to reset after 23.59. How can i do this with PHP?
Any help would be appreciated! Below is the code i already have, but i don't think any part of it would affect what i need help with:
<?php
session_start();
#ADD ITEM
if( isset( $_POST['newitem'] ) ){
$_SESSION['todo'][]=$_POST['newitem'];
}
#REMOVE ITEM
if( isset( $_POST['remove_id'] ) ){
$id = $_POST['remove_id'];
unset( $_SESSION['todo'][$id] );
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$i = 0;
echo "<h1>To Do</h1>";
#SUBMIT
echo "
<form action='' method='post'>
<input type='text' name='newitem'>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
";
foreach( $_SESSION['todo'] as $id => $item ){
$i++;
#REMOVE
echo "
<form action='' method='post'>
<input type ='hidden' name='remove_id' value='$id'>
<input type='submit' value='-'>
$item
</form>";
}
echo $i;
#CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR DEPENDING ON DAY
$day=date("l");
switch($day) {
case 'Monday':
$bg_color = "red";
break;
case 'Tuesday':
$bg_color = "blue";
break;
case 'Wednesday':
$bg_color = "purple";
break;
case 'Thursday':
$bg_color = "gray";
break;
case 'Friday':
$bg_color = "yellow";
break;
case 'Saturday':
$bg_color = "green";
break;
case 'Sunday':
default:
$bg_color = "beige";
break;
}
echo "<body style='background-color:$bg_color'>";
?>
</body>
</html>

else if(date("H") == "17" && date("i") == "00") echo "It is 17:00.";
else echo "17:00 is over for today.";
