daily events updated automatically

[ilikephp]

Hello,

Is there a way to display daily news automatically on my website using php/SQL, if not how can I do it?

 

for example: everyday, a new event paragraph will replace the other one based on the date, and all the future events will be followed day after day.

 

Thanks..

Look tutorials for cron jobs.

Is this via RSS?  Or is this content you already have?  In which case you can just use a cron or scheduled task (windows).

thanks guys for your help!

I read the tutorials about the cron job and I am able to figure it using the cPanel, but the problem is:

all the daily news that I have, where should I put them?

and how they will be displayed based on their order?

 

thanks...

What do you mean?  Maybe a database?

 

and how they will be displayed based on their order?

 

However you want.

 

Sorry for such vague answers, but I think you need to be a little more specific and provide more information.

I have around 300 quotes, and I need each day 1 quote to be displayed automatically.

 

I am facing the problem about how can I do it using php or MySql.

Do you have these quotes on file? May it only show one same quote during the whole day or show random quotes on each refresh?

 

Random quotes:

 

$lines = file('path/to/quotes/file');
print $lines[array_rand($lines)];

[ilikephp]

I want them to be displayed on each day. I have all the quotes in ms word. How can I put them in database?

Is there a script to display them according to the date (everyday)

 

thanks...
