I was wondering if there is a way to get a way for a certain page to be displayed everyday. I'm away from my computer a lot but I would like the news section of my website to have a new page everyday. Perhaps if I could write the sequence 7 days ahead, 1 for everyday of the week.

I'm guessing this could be done by PHP. If anyone knows how to do it and can share the code, please let me know!

- Thanks guys

theres a javascript way of redirecting people depending on the day of the week, not quite sure its it exatly what you want but take a look

or load a page depending of the day of the month

I think this should do you want

PHP Code:

<?php
switch(date('N'))
{
case 1:
echo 'monday';
break;
case 2:
echo 'tuesday';
break;
}
?>

Thanks guys,

Just wondering though for the PHP code where would I insert the source for the certain page I want it to display?

PHP Code:

<?php

switch(date('N'))
{
case 1:
include 'monday.php';
break;
case 2:
include 'tuesday.php';
break;
}

?>

etc...

oh alright thank you for going a little bit further with that covert.

Thanks again guys.

And covert I would like to appologize for the way I treated you in my last post. I suppose I was just to eager for help. My website is undergoing some major construction and we are on a deadline for some projects so I was a little to eager. But I wanted to take time to say I'm sorry for the way I acted.

hmm, well I gave it a go, but it didn't work.

Could it be because the part of my page I wanted it to go to was already php?

[brendandonhu]

What version of PHP are you using?

[covert215]

here is the php manual explaining how to use the include() function

Hmm alright, I think I understand a little better but I'm still somewhat confused why it still doesn't work.

Am I supposed to copy the code exactly as posted above or should I add something with the include function?

I set it up like this for my website

<?php

switch(date('N'))
{
case 1:
include 'sept132006.php';
break;
case 2:
include 'sept142006.php';
break;
}

?>

I'm not sure if thats correct though.

I just had a premade page that all it had was an image and some text that I inserted in a php file. Then I gave it the directory to that file within the script you gave me which is what I showed you in the code above... But like I said maybe I did it wrong.

[covert215]

It just hit me why this didn't work. Today is Wednesday. You need to have a case 3 for today to show up. Case 1 is Monday, Case 2 is Tuesday, etc.

[The Infinity]

Omg haha let me go try and see if it works.

[The Infinity]

Darn. Well I tried. Here is what the code looked like:

<?php
switch(date('N'))
{
case 1:
echo 'monday';
break;
case 2:
echo 'tuesday';
break;
case 3:
echo 'news/svntb.php';
break;
}
?>

Oh sorry about that Bredan, I forgot to answer that.

How can I find out which version of PHP it is?
