PHP redirect on exact date

I'm using this code to redirect based on the hour of the day, and the day of the week.

Here it is ..

<?php

$hour = date('G');
$minute = date('i');
$day = date('w');
$m = $hour * 60 + $minute; // Minutes since midnight.

if (
  $day == 0    // Sunday...
  && $m >= 615 // ... after 10:15…
  && $m <= 700 // ... but before 11:40…
) {
  header("Location: open.php");
}
else
if (
  $day == 3     // Wednesday...
  && $m >= 1125 // ... after 18:45…
  && $m <= 1235 // ... but before 20:35…
) {
  header("Location: open.php");
}

?>

I was wondering if there was a way to redirect to a page based on an exact date in the future like April 25th or November 1st.

Thanks .

This is a simple approach, which does not take account the year date:

// 25th april:
if (date('d') == '25' && date('m') == '4') {
  header('Location: open.php');
}
// 1st nov:
if (date('d') == '1' && date('m') == '11') {
  header('Location: open.php');
}

Look at the date() documentation for more exact details.

Sure.

$date = date();
$redirectDate = Date here;

if($date == $redirectDate) {
    header("Location: open.php");
}

This is going to be based on your server date/time

Convert the redirection date into timestamp using strtotime() or date() and you can do it easily

if(strtotime("2012/5/3") <= time()) {
     header("location: toredirect.php");
     exit;
}
