PHP: How do I run a loop during a certain time of the day?

I have a loop which runs in php..

I only want the loop to run if the local (sydney, australia) time is between 1pm and 3pm.

Can anyone provide an example of how this would function? Thank you!

you can use cron if you want to autorun some scripts at some time...

crontab -e

then add your script to be executed as following:

* * * * * /path/to/script
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | ----- Day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
| | | ------- Month (1 - 12)
| | --------- Day of month (1 - 31)
| ----------- Hour (0 - 23)
------------- Minute (0 - 59)

Put

if (date('H') == 13 || date('H') == 14)

above the loop.

(Given that your webserver is set to your local time.)
