Total noob help please......

[tj.baker]

I'm not even entirely sure I need to use PHP exclusivly for what I want to accomplish.

All I want to do is have a seven day list with hours of operation, and have the current day be highlighted.

This sounds fairly simple to me to accomplish..... I just have no idea where to start!

I don't necessarily wish for anyone to completly write the code to do this.... I would at least like to be pointed in the right direction for this particular task (I know I need to get to the php newbies tutorials, and I will!  :))...........I would just like to get this one thing accomplished in a fairly quick timeframe.

Thanks for any input........

peace,

what is it?

Create an array from Sunday to Saturday.
Outut them in as a list (going through each day element)
If the day element is today (i.e. date("l")) then highlight that list.

it's not the best way but this should work (i think)

[code]<table>
  <tr>
    <td <?php if (date("D") == "Mon") echo('class="highlight"')?>>Monday</td>
    <td <?php if (date("D") == "Tue") echo('class="highlight"')?>>Tuesday</td>
    <td <?php if (date("D") == "Wed") echo('class="highlight"')?>>Wednesday</td>
    <td <?php if (date("D") == "Thu") echo('class="highlight"')?>>Thursday</td>
    <td <?php if (date("D") == "Fri") echo('class="highlight"')?>>Friday</td>
    <td <?php if (date("D") == "Sat") echo('class="highlight"')?>>Saturday</td>
    <td <?php if (date("D") == "Sun") echo('class="highlight"')?>>Sunday</td>
  </tr>
</table>[/code]

it will add a class "highlight" to the <td> of the current day.

have all the dates like <span>Monday</span>  etc; and have your html file parsed into a varriable ($htmlReturn?)
[code]
$htmlReturn = str_replace("<span>" . date("D"), "<span bgcolor=green>" . date("D"), $htmlReturn);
[/code]

ive used that one successfully before :)
