How to use OR function in a statement

I want to set $a = 5 between 09.00h and 16.59h, Monday to Friday.

   $time = time()%86400;
   if( (date("D") == "Mon") || (date("D") == "Tue") || (date("D") == "Wed") || 
   (date("D") == "Thu") || (date("D") == "Fri") && $time >= 32400 && $time <= 61119){
        $a = 5;
    }

Have does the && time read at the end? Does it read "Mon OR Tue OR Wed OR Thu OR Fri..." AND "Time...", or instead "Fri AND Time"?

You're close, you'll need a set of parenthesis around the ORs, but a slightly cleaner way to write this might be:

if( in_array((date("D"), array("Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri"))
     && $time >= 32400 && $time <= 61119 ){

or even:

!in_array((date("D"), array("Sat","Sun"))
