Is there a way with PHP that you can put different information on the webpage on certain days? Example: have info#1 appear on days Jan 1-15 and info#2 appear on days Jan 15-31 and so on....If PHP can't do this, is there another way I could do this? Thanks for the help!

Yes, it can. You have to schedule a script to run, whereas the script would update a database or flatfile. This is done on Unix by making a cronjob. On Windows it's a scheduled task. Don't remember the specifics off hand, but just google on those terms and you should come up with the information that you need.

HTH!

I would agree with Richard on this, CronJobs is the real way to go, but another way that it could be done is if you do a select statement that pulls from a DB or flatfile to display the info. The CronJobs are a better way to do this as I believe it would be better for the server processing.

I really appreciate your help, but I have to say :( that I don't know the first thing about php!!! Is there any site that could show me how to do this...or better yet...some pre-written code? Thanks for all your help!!!

Am I missing something, guys? Surely you could just run:

if(date("d")<15){
//Do one thing: e.g. require _once(beginning_of_month.php);
}else{
//Do t'other thing
}

Stacy, date("d") simply returns the numeric day of the month value for the present day the script runs on. date() is actually an incredibly flexible and useful function: more about it here: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Oh, yeah, looks like I misinterpretted the question. Sorry about that.
