How to get different images display on page each day.

[iconicCreator]

With the help of the great people in here and some reading, I have managed to come up with a PHP script that displays random images every time a page loads or when user refreshes the page/browser. The script also echos a caption according to time of day.

 

Now I would like to modified the script so that instead of the image changing every time the page/browser refreshes, it will display a different image everyday with a caption.

 

So the script will display a different image everyday with a caption.

 

Now my current script displays images on reload/refresh with caption.

 

Here is the script.

 

<?php 
$images = array(
  array('file'    => 'image1a',
        'caption' => 'Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> My name is Rick. <br /> Welcome to B&I.'),
  array('file'    => 'image2a',
        'caption' => 'Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> My name is Dianna. <br /> Welcome to B&I.'),
  array('file'    => 'image3a',
        'caption' => 'Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> My name is David. <br /> Welcome to B&I.'),
  array('file'    => 'image4a',
        'caption' => 'Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> My name is Mariah. <br /> Welcome to B&I.'),
  array('file'    => 'image5a',
        'caption' => 'Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> My name is Gabriel. <br /> Thanks for visiting B&I.'),
	  array('file'    => 'image6a',
        'caption' => "Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> I'm Morrison. <br /> Thanks for visiting B&I.<br /> How can I help you?"),
	  array('file'    => 'image7a',
        'caption' => "Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> I'm Chris. <br /> Thanks for visiting B&I.<br /> Do you have a question?"),
	  array('file'    => 'image8a',
        'caption' => "Good [PARTOFDAY]! <br /> I'm Carlos. <br /> Welcome to B&I.<br /> How can I help you?"),
  );
$i = rand(0, count($images)-1);
$selectedImage = "../my_website_images/{$images[$i]['file']}.jpg";
$caption = $images[$i]['caption'];



function PARTOFDAY($string) {
$hour = date("H",time());
if($hour >= 6 && $hour < 12) $replace = 'morning';
elseif($hour >= 12 && $hour < 18) $replace = 'afternoon';
elseif($hour >= 18 && $hour < 24) $replace = 'evening';
else $replace = 'morning';
return str_replace("[PARTOFDAY]",$replace,$string);
} 
?>

 

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks everyone!

You have to give every image a day. And then compare the day with the day part of server time.
