Season script code

[Michael_Wright]

Hi guys how can I get this script to work with html cumulus template ???

Code: Select all

// $date - A date in any English textual format. If blank 
// defaults to the current date
// $hemisphere - "northern", "southern" or "australia"
function get_season($date="", $hemisphere="northern") {
	
	// Set $date to today if no date specified
	if ($date=="") { $date = date("Y-m-d"); }
	
	// Specify the season names
	$season_names = array('Winter', 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall');

	// Get year of date specified
	$date_year = date("Y", strtotime($date));

	// Declare season date ranges
	switch (strtolower($hemisphere)) {
		case "northern": {
			if (
				strtotime($date)<strtotime($date_year.'-03-21') || 
				strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-12-21')
			) { 
				return $season_names[0]; // Must be in Winter
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-09-23')) {
				return $season_names[3]; // Must be in Fall
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-06-21')) {
				return $season_names[2]; // Must be in Summer
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-03-21')) {
				return $season_names[1]; // Must be in Spring
			}
			break;
		}
		case "southern": {
			if (
				strtotime($date)<strtotime($date_year.'-03-21') || 
				strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-12-21')
			) { 
				return $season_names[2]; // Must be in Summer
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-09-23')) {
				return $season_names[1]; // Must be in Spring
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-06-21')) {
				return $season_names[0]; // Must be in Winter
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-03-21')) {
				return $season_names[3]; // Must be in Fall	
			}
			break;
		}
		case "australia": {
			if (
				strtotime($date)<strtotime($date_year.'-03-01') || 
				strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-12-01')
			) { 
				return $season_names[2]; // Must be in Summer
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-09-01')) {
				return $season_names[1]; // Must be in Spring
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-06-01')) {
				return $season_names[0]; // Must be in Winter
			}elseif (strtotime($date)>=strtotime($date_year.'-03-01')) {
				return $season_names[3]; // Must be in Fall	
			}
			break;
		}
		default: { echo "Invalid hemisphere set"; }
	}

}

That is a .php script, which needs to be within OR 'included' in a .php file.

Then wherever you wanted the season name you would code:

Code: Select all

It's <?php echo get_season(null, "austrailia"); ?>

// OR change
function get_season($date="", $hemisphere="austrailia"){

//and use
It's <?php echo get_season(); ?>

In other words you would have to process your xxxxT.htm file and rename to xxxx.php
The code would be put between <?php ..... ?> tags somewhere BEFORE the 'echo' call.

Of course you would need to change any links in your other page menus for the .php extension.
