Hey...you've got that right now...kind of. > if (ereg("[2200-2230]", $now)) > $out = "special"; Go back to the manual, please. Your ereg string is only matching (or looking to match) one character. You are looking for a single character in your string that is a 2 or 2 or 0 to 2 or 2 or 3 or 0. That'll match "2221" every time... Why are you using ereg when a less than / greater than will work faster and easier? ---John Holmes... > elseif (ereg("[0600-1159]", $now)) > $out = "morning"; > elseif (ereg("[1200-1659]", $now)) > $out = "afternoon"; > elseif (ereg("[1700-1959]", $now)) > $out = "evening"; > elseif (ereg("[2000-0000]", $now)) > $out = "night"; > elseif (ereg("[0001-0559]", $now)) > $out = "too late"; > else > $out = "no matches"; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
