I would like to know if its possible to make script that will work only limited time. For example I have poll on my web page but like to make it active only, for example, from 8:00 till 18:00.

Sure! You should look into one of my tutorials. The time calculation uses everything you need for your script.

Should work. Haven't tested this but try:

<?php
$time = time('h'); //not sure about this bit, haven't used time function in a LONG time
if($time > "8" || $time < "18") { // If this doesn't work, try taking the " out
	// Your script here
	}
else {
	echo("Sorry! The script is offline");
	}

In theory that should work. Someone'll correct me if I'm wrong. I would test it but Dreamweavers playing up for me and I don't like using notepad.

yup ofcourse. e.g. a script that will work fo the next hour:

<?php

$current_time = time();
$time_to_stop = 1188859896
if($current_time < $time_to_stop){

 //script goes here

}else{

 print "Sorry, you've missed it";

}
?>

another way to get the time to stop could be strtotime("08:00:00 10 September 2000");
Anyway, you need a timestamp in that form

You're looking for: date("h")

And one more question about time. Is there way to make script that will auto load at particular time ?

I believe a Cron Job would be needed for this... check your cPanel.
