for shafi'e, there are 2 arkaan (pillars?) of fasting, ie
1- Niat (making intention) of sawm/fasting
2- Guard oneself from the things that invalidates the sawm/fasting.

One the Niat, there's 2 situations:
- for fardh fasting (ie Ramadhan) and other obligatory (wajib) fasting (eg nazar, kaffarah), the intention must be made on the night before the time of fajr.
- for nafl fasting (voluntary), it is NOT conditioned that the niat/intention must be made on the night before fasting. It is permissible to make the intention during the day time PROVIDED that the sun has not passed noon AND HAVE NOT done things that invalidates the fasting such as eating/drinking etc.

wallaahu a'lam.
