Is it possible to prevent someone from viewing the contents of the webpage (partial or full) until a certain date and time? For example, if i have a webpage with a link, but only want that link on the webpage to be viewed at a certain start date and time, is this possible?

Thank you!

Do you know any php?

You could do something like below, hard code the date at which point onwards you want the link to appear:

<?php
$date = date("Y-m-d");
if($date >= "2021-03-15") { ?>
<a href="showInfo.php?showInfo="true">Link</a>
<?php } ?>

On the showInfo.php page which the link is set to go to check to see if the 'showInfo' url parameter is set:

<?php if(isset($_GET['showInfo'])) { ?>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<?php } else { ?>
<h1>No Access</h1>
<?php } ?>

does the code scare you, or can you write a few lines... this link should help you... in fact the HTML content will only be visible according to date ranges
