Restrict Access by Time of Day

I have a client who's site I have done that is just for use by the companies
office across the province - not for public use. Is it possible to have it only
accessible during business hours?

Example so that staff can only access the data from 9:00am - 4:30pm?

Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

Ah, I ran into a script that did that the other day if I can find it I'll let you know.

You could every page check the server time and if it's outside of that time
period than redirect to a 'not available' page.

That said, why would they want to do this? What if someone wants to work
late or telecommute?

Thanks! That would be very much appreciated!

What server-side language are you using?

I guess I should have mentioned that ;-)

PHP and mySQL

Ah...sorry, can't help you there, but, in pseudo code, it'd look like this:

get current date/time from server
if (date/time < "am open time") or (date/time > "pm close time") then
page redirect to 'sorryWe'reClosed.htm'
else
end if

Again, though, this just seems like a really odd request from the client.

Yeah they have very good reason to do it though. Because of the nature of the
content they do not want staff accessing it off hours. Basically its a
goverment program that contains personal information of thousands of people.
They have to be careful who has access and when. But yeah, normally its a
strange request.

In what time zone? User? Server? GMT?

Hi Gary,

All the offices and servers are on Pacific Time .... so PST would be the correct time zone for everything.
