How can PHP beginners effectively incorporate time-based conditions, like morning, afternoon, and evening, into their code?

To incorporate time-based conditions like morning, afternoon, and evening into PHP code, beginners can use the date() function to retrieve the current time and then use conditional statements to check the time and set appropriate actions based on the time of day. 

$current_time = date("H");
if ($current_time < 12) {
    echo "Good morning!";
} elseif ($current_time < 18) {
    echo "Good afternoon!";
} else {
    echo "Good evening!";
}
