Problems with the date function

Nicholas · July 2, 2006

I'm having trouble with the date function of PHP. I'm trying to have my script recognize what day it is so that different content can be displayed automatically. I won't be able to check/update the page manually soon, so I want the script to do it for me. I simply set up a variable ($day) that takes the numerical day of the month (date("j");). I then used if statements to check the different scenarios I have layed out, and put in the different content for those scenarios. But to no avail...

[code]
$day = date("j");
function frontpage($day) {
navigation();
if ($day == 2) {
print '<h1>Next Practice:</h1>' .
'<ul>' .
' <li><strong>When:</strong> Monday, July 3rd at 9:00 AM</li>' .
' <li><strong>Where:</strong> Marysville High School Track</li>' .
' <li><strong>What to Bring:</strong> Flats, cleats, ball, water, etc</li>' .
' <li><strong>Exercises:</strong> Plyometric jumps, Pro agility run (12x), 150 pushups, 200 abs</li>' .
'</ul>';
}
if ($day == 4) {
print '<h1>Next Practice:</h1>' .
'<ul>' .
' <li><strong>When:</strong> Wednesday, July 5th at 9:00 AM</li>' .
' <li><strong>Where:</strong> Marysville High School Track</li>' .
' <li><strong>What to Bring:</strong> Flats, cleats, ball, water, etc</li>' .
' <li><strong>Exercises:</strong> Funnel run, 15 minutes of touches, leg workout, 150 pushups, 200 abs</li>' .
'</ul>';
}
if ($day == 6) {
print '<h1>Next Practice:</h1>' .
'<ul>' .
' <li><strong>When:</strong> Friday, July 7th at 9:00 AM</li>' .
' <li><strong>Where:</strong> Marysville High School Track</li>' .
' <li><strong>What to Bring:</strong> Flats, cleats, ball, water, etc</li>' .
' <li><strong>Exercises:</strong> 30/30 Fartlek run for 15 minutes</li>' .
'</ul>';
}
if ($day == 9) {
print '<h1>Next Practice:</h1>' .
'<ul>' .
' <li><strong>When:</strong> Monday, July 10th at 9:00 AM</li>' .
' <li><strong>Where:</strong> Marysville High School Track</li>' .

}
if ($day == 11) {

Whats the problam then?

Nicholas · July 2, 2006

Depending on the page...

[quote]Warning: Missing argument 1 for frontpage() in /home/nick/public_html/practice/content.php on line 37

* Line 37: function frontpage($day) {[/quote]

[quote]Warning: Missing argument 1 for schedule() in /home/nick/public_html/practice/content.php on line 110

* Line 110: function schedule($day) {[/quote]

For one, the variable isn't being passed through the function. For two, the if statements aren't working properly to make the decision as to which statement is true.

redarrow · July 2, 2006

Try it with out the navagation() function present ok.

.josh · July 2, 2006

where in your script are you actually calling these functions?

mrwhale · July 2, 2006

So when you are calling the functions you are doing this right:

[code]<?php

$day = date("j");

frontpage( $day );
schedule( $day );

?>[/code]

redarrow · July 2, 2006

Ok here we go i teasted a situation that your kind of in the fuction in test.php will not declair its values a result of the function set in test_result.

in test the function hello($d) goes dead due to having an extra function in place.

what the way to solve this in your code.
ansaw:
the only way i have come up with was to get rid of a function and keep one.

test_result.php
<?php

$d=date("d:m:y");

function hello($d) {

echo $d;

}

?>

test.php

<?php
include("test_result.php");

$date=date(":y");

function h($date) {

echo $d;

}

h($date);
hello($d)
?>

Thanks for you're help. I won't have the chance to play with this though, so I just put up all the content for now. When I get the opportunity, I'll have to review your code to understand what you're doing. Thanks again though.
