This article aims to provide a complete set of tutorials to guide how to use PHP and database technology to achieve automatic date and time updates of web content, especially for scenarios such as radio program schedules that require precise time control. The tutorial will cover a variety of methods from simple conditional judgment to managing programs using arrays to dynamic content management in combination with databases, and provide detailed code examples and practical suggestions to ensure that the content can be displayed dynamically based on current time.

When building web content that needs to change dynamically according to the current date and time, for example, the "playing" program information of a radio station is to accurately obtain the server time and match it according to the preset program schedule. This tutorial will introduce several effective methods to implement this function step by step, from basic conditional judgment to more advanced database integration solutions.

1. Simple implementation based on conditional judgment

For scenes where the number of programs is limited and the time period is relatively fixed, you can directly use PHP conditional statements (if/else if/else) to judge the current time and display the corresponding program. This method is intuitive and easy to understand and is suitable for rapid prototyping or small applications.

Core principle:

1. Use date('N') to get the current day of the week (1 represents Monday and 7 represents Sunday).
2. Use date('H') to get the current hour (24-hour time).
3. Through a nested if/else structure, determine which program should be played according to the day of the week and the hour.

Sample code:

 <?php // Set the default time zone to ensure time accuracy, such as &#39;Asia/Shanghai&#39;
date_default_timezone_set(&#39;Asia/Shanghai&#39;);

$weekday = date(&#39;N&#39;); // Get the current day of the week (1=Mon, 7=Sun)
$hour = date(&#39;H&#39;); // Get the current hour (00-23)
$now_playing = &#39;default program&#39;; // Set a default program // Judge programs from Monday to Friday if ($weekday >= 1 && $weekday = 10) { // 10 o'clock and later $now_playing = 'Fred and Lucy time';
    } elseif ($hour >= 8) { // 8 o'clock and after $now_playing = 'breakfast show';
    } else { // before 8 o'clock $now_playing = 'Good morning show';
    }
} 
//Judge Sunday's program elseif ($weekday == 7) {
    if ($hour >= 18) { // 18 o'clock and later $now_playing = 'hymn time';
    } else { // before 18 o'clock $now_playing = 'Sunday Good Show';
    }
}

printf("Current play: %s", $now_playing);
?>

Notes:

• This method has poor maintainability, and when the program table changes frequently or the number of programs is large, modifying the code will become very cumbersome.
• It can only be accurate to the hours and cannot handle program switching at minute levels.

2. Use PHP array to manage program lists

In order to improve the maintainability and scalability of the code, program table data can be organized into PHP arrays. This approach allows us to store program information in a more structured way and match the current time by looping through the array.

Core principle:

1. Create a multi-dimensional array with outer keys representing the day of the week and inner keys representing the start time of the program (can be hours or precise to minutes).
2. Iterate through the program list of the current week and find the first program with a start time less than or equal to the current time, that is, the program currently being played.

Processing Minute Accuracy: In practical applications, the program will usually start accurately until the minute. To solve the problem that date('H') can only get hours, we can use date('H:i') to get the current time string containing minutes and set the time key in the array to H:i format. When PHP compares strings, it will compare in dictionary order, which is valid for time strings in H:i format.

Sample code:

 <?php // Set the default time zone date_default_timezone_set(&#39;Asia/Shanghai&#39;);

$shows = [
    // Monday (1)
    1 => [
        '00:00' => 'Morning Show',
        '08:00' => 'Breakfast Show',
        '10:00' => 'Fred and Lucy Time',
        '12:00' => 'Midday News',
        '14:30' => 'Tea time',
        '17:00' => 'Music on the way off work'
    ],
    // The programs from Tuesday to Friday can be similarly defined 2 => [ /* ... */ ],
    3 => [
        '20:00' => 'Test result A',
        '20:30' => 'Test result B',
        '21:00' => 'Test result C',
        '21:10' => 'Test result D',
        '21:30' => 'Test Results E'
    ],
    4 => [ /* ... */ ],
    5 => [ /* ... */ ],
    // Saturday (6)
    6 => [
        '00:00' => 'Weekend morning',
        '09:00' => 'Weekend Special'
    ],
    // Sunday (7)
    7 => [
        '00:00' => 'Good Sunday Show',
        '06:00' => 'Praise time',
        '12:00' => 'Sunday midday selection'
    ]
];

$weekday = date('N'); // Get the current day of the week (1=Mon, 7=Sun)
$hour_minute = date('H:i'); // Get the current time, accurate to minutes (for example '20:35')
$now_playing = 'default program'; // Set a default program // Check if there is a program schedule for the current week if (isset($shows[$weekday])) {
    foreach ($shows[$weekday] as $start_time => $show_name) {
        // If the start time of the program is less than or equal to the current time // String comparison 'HH:MM' format is valid if ($start_time 

advantage:

• Program data is separated from logic and is easier to manage.
• Supports minute-level precise time control.
• By traversing the array, you can easily add and modify programs.

3. Combining database to realize dynamic program management

For large radio stations or scenarios where program schedules need to be updated frequently, storing program data in a database is best practice. The database provides powerful data management capabilities, supports the addition, deletion, modification and search of programs through the backend interface, and updates the program content without modifying the code.

Core principle:

1. Database design: Create a shows table that contains at least fields such as id, weekday (day of the week), start_at (start time, stored as a time string or timestamp), show_name (program name), etc.
2. PHP interacts with database: use PDO and other methods to connect to the database, write SQL query statements, and retrieve matching programs from the database based on the current week and time.
3. SQL query: Query all programs that are currently playing in the current week and start_at are less than or equal to the current time, and then arrange them in descending order of start_at, and take the first record, which is the currently playing program.

Example database table structure (shows table):

Field name	type	describe
id	INT	Primary key, self-increase
weekday	TINYINT	Day of the week (1-7)
start_at	TIME / VARCHAR(5)	Program start time (for example '08:00')
show_name	VARCHAR(255)	Program Name

Sample SQL query:

 SELECT show_name 
FROM shows 
WHERE weekday = ? AND start_at <p> <strong>Example of PHP interaction with database:</strong></p><pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false"> <?php // Set the default time zone date_default_timezone_set(&#39;Asia/Shanghai&#39;);

// Database connection configuration (please modify it according to actual situation)
$host = &#39;localhost&#39;;
$db = &#39;your_database_name&#39;;
$user = &#39;your_username&#39;;
$pass = &#39;your_password&#39;;
$charset = &#39;utf8mb4&#39;;

$dsn = "mysql:host=$host;dbname=$db;charset=$charset";
$options = [
    PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
    PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC,
    PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false,
];

try {
    $pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass, $options);
} catch (\PDOException $e) {
    throw new \PDOException($e->getMessage(), (int)$e->getCode());
}

$weekday = date('N'); // Get the current day of the week$current_time = date('H:i'); // Get the current time, accurate to the minute$now_playing = 'default program'; // Set a default program$query = "SELECT show_name FROM shows WHERE weekday = ? AND start_at prepare($query);
$stmt->execute([$weekday, $current_time]);

$show = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

if ($show) {
    $now_playing = $show['show_name'];
}

printf("now %s play: %s", $current_time, $now_playing);
?>

advantage:

• Highly scalable: Easily manage a large number of programs and support future functional expansions (such as program description, host information, etc.).
• Easy to maintain: Program data is completely separated from the code, and can be updated by managing the background without modifying the code.
• Data consistency: The database ensures the reliability and consistency of data storage.

4. Precautions and best practices

1. Timezone setting: Be sure to set the correct timezone using date_default_timezone_set('Your/Timezone') at the beginning of the PHP script to avoid problems caused by inconsistent server time with the actual required time.
2. Front-end real-time update: The above methods are all used to generate content on the server side through PHP when the page is loaded. If you need to implement real-time update of program information without refreshing the page (for example, update every minute), you need to combine front-end technologies, such as JavaScript's setInterval function, to obtain the latest program information and update the DOM through AJAX requesting the back-end interface.
3. Caching mechanism: For high-traffic websites, frequent database queries may increase the burden on the server. You can consider introducing a caching mechanism (such as Redis, Memcached or file cache) to cache the query results for a period of time and reduce database pressure.
4. Error handling: In an actual production environment, appropriate error handling should be carried out for database connection failures, query results, etc., to provide a friendly user experience or log recording.
5. Security: When using a database, be sure to use Prepared Statements to prevent SQL injection attacks.
6. Code organization: As the complexity of the project increases, database operations, program logic, etc. can be encapsulated into separate classes or functions to improve the modularity and reusability of the code.

Summarize
