<?php

$now = localtime(time(), true);

$num_minutes = $now[tm_min];

$num_seconds = $now[tm_sec];

$remaining_seconds = 60 - $num_seconds;

echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa");

if ($num_seconds < 30) {

echo '<p>First half of the minute!</p>';

} else {

echo '<p>Second half of the minute!</p>';

}

echo "There are " . $remaining_seconds . " seconds before the minute is over.<br>";

echo "<hr/>";

echo "<ul>";

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {

echo "<li>Counting: " . $i . "</li>";

}

echo "</ul>";

</body>

</html>

Your Turn

Make the following changes:

Copy the code that checks the seconds, and have it do the same thing with num_minutes (i.e. print first half or second half of the hour).

Add an if statement that prints “Troop 13” or “Troop 15” if the number of seconds is 13 or 15 respectively.
