I want to add a "tip of the day" to my site. However, I don't want to have to physically go in and change my site every day, as I don't have the time to do that. Therefore, I was thinking that if I was to create a text file containing the quotes / tips for each day of the month or year and store this onto my server then I could set up the page to use the quote / tip for that day.

Does anyone know how I would go about doing this please?

Thanks,

Jason

I'd think a simple PHP script would work. You can either write it yourself or hunt on the 'net. Try www.hotscripts.com or www.phphelp.com/article/1p4.php.

Agreed.

What you would need to do it yourself is a database (flat file works, too) holding your quotes, a file that remembers a random number for every day, and the pages that read out that number and load the according quote.

you could also just have a tip for each day of the week. so simply use 7 variables $1 to $7 and then add if ( idate("w") == 0 ) { echo "$1"; } and so on...

the idate("w") just returns the day of the week as a number, where 0 is sunday.
