Can i show items based on the day with php?

Question

I have a code on my site that displays different headers for different post types using the if ( get_post_type() == 'post type here' ) { code

but is there a way i can do this for days of the week?

I want to create a calendar since i can't find an actual good calendar that works to my fits.

I want to create a list of shows and showtimes based on the day of the week and place it in the sidebar.

*I'm trying to create a list of items to display in the sidebar using a php code....for example when it's monday only the list for monday will show and etc......by using th echo '' term i want to be able to place <div> and or <tabel> inside the echo code *

Answer 1

Most probably off-topic question...

You can use:

$var = date("D");

to get the current day of the week. Then make a switch or a series of if-else to choose which posts you'll want to display for that day.

Answer 2

Not sure understood your issue, but I believe you can use

$week = date("w", strtotime($eventdateandtime));

This should return numeric representation of the day of the week of your event (0 - for Sunday through 6 - for Saturday)

Hope that helps. Cheers.
