Can anyone extrapolate on how to implement a basic "good evening" or "good morning" based on the user's time setting?
Perhaps PHP will fetch the server time, but I'm looking to greet the site visitor with a time-based appropriate greeting that considers their time of day.
E.G.: good morning, good night, good afternoon.

The greetings change depending on the time of the day. For example, “Good morning” is generally used from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. whereas “Good afternoon” time is from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or when the sun goes down. Keep in mind that “Goodnight” is not a salutation.
It's polite Saying 'good morning' to people is polite and such courteous greeting is as basic as 'please' and 'thank you' in our daily lives. When you say 'good morning', you are not only greeting the person but also wishing them well for the day.
Good morning is defined as a polite greeting or farewell that you say to someone in the early hours of the day. Good morning is an example of something you say to someone when you see him for the first time at 9 AM. Used as a greeting when meeting somebody for the first time in the morning.
Base it on .getHours() of the date object. Using javascript's Date object will automatically use the user's local time, rather than the server-time:
var now = new Date(); alert( now.getHours() ); A couple conditional checks, and you're in business. For instance, the following is a very simple and easy-to-understand example:
var now = new Date(); var hrs = now.getHours(); var msg = ""; if (hrs > 0) msg = "Mornin' Sunshine!"; // REALLY early if (hrs > 6) msg = "Good morning"; // After 6am if (hrs > 12) msg = "Good afternoon"; // After 12pm if (hrs > 17) msg = "Good evening"; // After 5pm if (hrs > 22) msg = "Go to bed!"; // After 10pm alert(msg); It's currently 2:56am here, so I see "Mornin' Sunshine!" when I run this.
