need help setting dynamic php image slider

[elzeleza]

How would you go about and what techniques would you use in making a site that's basically a one-page-dynamic-slideshow, where user uploads images, site resizes them via php, then based on server time, pulls different image each hour from a folder where user uploaded them.

For a great tutorial series on using php to resize images, check out a YouTube user

(click the name for a link to the first video in a series of videos that cover image processing). If you're unable to learn it from the way he teaches, then basically you're not going to be able to learn it.

 

To check the server time, you can use the php function date() (http://php.net/manua...nction.date.php). Giving it a string representing how you want the date to be formatted, as you'll see in the documentation.

You can then check that each time your page loads, and then load up the image you want depending on the date/time.

 

That should be able to get your started
