Open file if date matches...

[GsT]

Hello,

 

Im a newbie when it comes to PHP. Im trying to make a script that only shows/lists a PDF-file if the filename matches with todays date.

 

So if I wanted to show a PDF fil on the site (only for) today I would upload it to a folder and name the file with todays date ex. 20091125.pdf.

 

Any easy way to do this?

$todayFile = date('Ymd') . '.pdf';; //Assumes leading zeros are used

if file_exist($todayFile)
{
    echo "<a href=\"{$todayFile}\">{$todayFile}</a>\n";
}

Thx mjdamato, that was fast!

 

Much closer now! Sadly though I got an parser error: Parse error: parse error, expecting `'(''

 

for this line:

if file_exist($todayFile)

 

If I remove that specific line, the file shows up. Any ideas?

As my signature states, I don't always test the code I post here. I typically provide a "logical" solution and leave it up to the posterr to fix any minor typos.

 

$todayFile = date('Ymd') . '.pdf'; //Assumes leading zeros are used
if (file_exist($todayFile))
{
    echo "<a href=\"{$todayFile}\">{$todayFile}</a>\n";
}

Alright, this will do, thank you very much mjdamato!

 

Consider this case solved.
