I am trying to get a simple What/If PHP statement working based on the time of my server. If its midnight->11am it should say Good Morning. Between 12noon & 5pm then Good Afternoon, otherwise Good Evening...

Should this code work?

<?php
$hour = date("G");
    if ($hour >= 0 || $hour <= 11) {
        echo "Good morning";
	    } else {
            if ($hour >= 12 || $hour <= 17) {
                echo "Good afternoon";
        	    } else {
	        	echo "Good evening";
	       	}
        }
?>

Nearly. You want to use ANDs not ORs

<?php
$hour = date("G");
    if ($hour >= 0 && $hour <= 11) {
        echo "Good morning";
	} else if ($hour >= 12 && $hour <= 17) {
        echo "Good afternoon";
    } else {
	   	echo "Good evening";
	}
?>
