hey guys iam new to php just started about 1 month ago, noticed this forum was very popular found lots of answers to problems i was having but now iam stuck.  what iam trying to do is use the date function along with an array to output a new hyperlink every month.  what i understand so far is that i need an array of course, and then also declare the getdate() method. what i have is this so far

<?php

$todays_date = getdate();
$linkoftheday = array( 1 <= '<a href=\"http://nitrofire.net/forum\">');
?>

then in a css layer i have this

<?PHP


if ($linkoftheday==$todays_date)
echo $linkoftheday;
else {
echo 'fail';
}


?>


i know for a fact iam missing a bunch of stuff but i am stuck on finding more information on this. anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

k fixed the error
echo $linkoftheday[getdate()];
to
echo $linkoftheday['getdate()'];

but none of the links show

but with the coded arrays dont you have to declare that they are an array before the
$linkoftheday[1] = '<a href="http://nitrofire.net/forum">'; ?????

nope! great thing bout arrays

$array[]='';
is exactly the same as
$array = array('');

are you doing this for day of the week? month? or year... because php date function makes life sooo easy like that

week = date(N); <-- 1-7
month = date(j); <-- 1-31
year = date(z); <-- 0-365

[code]
<?
$linkoftheday[1] = '<a href="http://nitrofire.net/forum">';
$linkoftheday[2] = '<a href="http://nitrofire.net/forum">';
ect...

echo $linkoftheday[date(z)];
?>
[/code]

nope....

[code]
<?
$linkoftheday[0] = '<a href="http://nitrofire.net/forum"></a>';
...
$linkoftheday[365] = '<a href="http://nitrofire.net/forum"></a>';

echo $linkoftheday[date(z)];
?>
[/code]

every different day will give you a new link... considering that $linkoftheday[#] is set... try it... it'll work :-)
