Change content on specific dates..

[psquillace]

Hello All:

 

I want to write a script where a few .jpgs that I have would change on a specific date (seasonally). Being new to php I was wondering if I should do something like

 

IF date() 'img src"" ' ;

 

}else{

 

echo img... bla bla bla

 

but I am not sure of the exacts of how I can do this,

 

Any help or advice is much appreciated,

 

Paul

what are your seasons that you want to change it on? You can use the date command to find

out the current date,time, month, etc and then compare it to your pre-made selection, ie:

 

<?php
if(date("m") >=11 && date("m") <=04)
{
  //winter
} elseif(date("m") >=05 && date("m") <=06) {
  //spring
} elseif(date("m") >=07 && date("m") <=10) {
//summer
} else {
//fall 
}
?>

<?php

$date=date("m");

if($date==12){

$img="<img src='xmas.jpg' />";

}elseif($date==02){

$img="<img src='winter.jpg' />";
}else{

$img="<img src='nopic.jpg' />";	
}

echo $img;

?>

Better all year example..........

 

<?php

$x=array("01"=>"january.jpg","02"=>"febuary.jpg","03"=>"march.jpg",
          "04"=>"april.jpg","05"=>"may.jpg","06"=>"june.jpg","07"=>"july.jpg",
          "08"=>"august.jpg","09"=>"september.jpg","10"=>"october.jpg",
          "11"=>"november.jpg",
          "12"=>"december.jpg");

$date=date("m");

foreach($x as $key=> $val){

if($date==$key){

	echo"<img src='$val'/>";
}
}
?>
