this may work, but i hesitate, i've _never_ had to use exit to get my code to excecute a redirect. and i'm heavily reliant on this function. did aarons fix work for you? i think you're problem lies elsewhere. as i've just mocked the same thing on my server, but using 10 instead of 03...i'm on EST and its excecutes perfectly. don't mean to cause waves...just curious.

Michael Roberts [mailto:jroberts@ha-ny.com] Sent: July 24, 2003 10:09 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Line of code should work...but doesn't I've been going a little crazy here with a single line of code that should work, but doesn't. It's probably has something to do with the fact that I've been staring at pages of code for months on end. In order to make user that nobody is screwing with the database while the daily backups and maintainence are running, I decided to make a little thing that would keep people from logging in, etc. Here's the line: if (strftime("%H") == "03") { header( "Location: maintainence.php" ); } In theory, if it's any time between 03:00:00 and 03:59:59 the user should be redirected to the page maintainence.php, but when testing it passes over this line without a blip. Any ideas?
