in reply to Morning or Night?

... between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM it displays PM.
and
$central_time_hour = $hour + 1

You have logic problems, others above have explained how to fix it, but here is why it is wrong( or so I think ).

The "$hour + 1" looks like you are running the script in a time zone 1 hour behind your time.
so, at 12:01AM your time, it is 11:01PM script time( heh ).
11:01PM script time means $hour is 23, and $central_time_hour is 24, which is greater then 11.

    I take that back, they did not give you a fix. try this:

    $ampm = ( $central_time_hour > 11 and $central_time_hour < 24 ) ? 'PM'
+ : 'AM';

    I think that works properly, though it is is just a hack to cover flawed logic.
    Fixing the flawed logic is left as an exercise for the reader.
