Javascript to PHP

[JesseToxik]

Hey guys,

 

I am probably about to ask too much but I really do not know where to start so I am asking for help.

I have a javascript code that stores an array of 366 quotes.

One per day(including leap year so the code does not fail on the 366th day).

 

I currently switched to a host that allows PHP.

I would like to somehow convert the code from JS to PHP.

 

Could anyone help?

I really do not know where to start.

Date.prototype.getDOY = function()
{var onejan = new Date(this.getFullYear(),0,1);
return Math.ceil((this - onejan) / 86400000);} 
var today = new Date();
var DOY = today.getDOY(); 
var Quote=new Array()

Glad to hear you switched.

 

Do you have a database too? That's the best place to store these quotes.

[JesseToxik]

Yes. The server is equipped with MySQL 5.5.28. Not going to lie though. I would need step by step instructions since I am MySQL illiterate.

[requinix]

Then you should find yourself a couple PHP+MySQL tutorials. You don't have to get very far: just enough to understand how to get stuff from a table. Do make sure you find something that uses PDO or mysqli - none of the mysql_* functions.

 

Quick question though. Do you want this to be a random quote thing? Or display a specific quote on each day of the year? Random quotes are easy to do and don't restrict how many quotes you can keep (but of course the more quotes you have then the less likely you'll see the same quote twice in a short timespan).
