This is a easy tutorial, basically as easy as the hello world tutorial! Not sure if anybody knows how to do this, so here you guys go:

JavaScript Code

<script type='text/javascript'>
var date=new Date(); // Gets the full date!
var day=date.getHours(); // Gets the hours!
 
if(day<=11) {
	document.write('Good Morning'); // If it's before 12 PM then display this!
} else if(day<18){
	document.write('Good Afternoon'); // After 12 PM display this!
} else {
	document.write('Good Evening'); // After 6 PM display this!
}
</script>

Basically the code does what the comments. Say, it checks if the hour is before 12 PM on the users computer, and if it is then it will display Good Morning, and so on.

Hope this helped!

even if PHP is server side, you can use set_default_timezone function or w/e in PHP to get the users timezone time.

Oliver, for PHP it would be the servers time, wouldn't it? Javascript is local, so it would get the users time.
