To compare the current time to a variable in a .htaccess file, you can use the following method:

  1. Set the variable in your .htaccess file using SetEnv directive:
1
SetEnv MY_VARIABLE "13:00"


  1. Use the mod_rewrite module in your .htaccess file to check if the current time is greater than the variable:
1
2
3
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR} > %{ENV:MY_VARIABLE}
RewriteRule ^ - [F]


This rule will return a 403 Forbidden error if the current time is greater than the value of the variable "MY_VARIABLE". You can adjust the comparison logic or the action to be taken based on your specific requirements.
