how do i make a piece of code which displays certain text (defined by me in the code) depending on the day of the week.
So for example;

on monday: today is monday
on tuesday: welcome, it's tuesday
.
.
.
on saturday: it's sunday today

Please help

You can use the date function

PHP Code:

if(date("l") == "Monday") echo "Today is monday";

elseif(date("l") == "Tuesday") echo "Today is tuesday";

elseif(date("l") == "Wednesday") echo "hi its wednesday"; 

// ect..

I would do like this:

$captions = array(
1=>'Hello, it\'s Monday',
2=>'Ok, Tuesday',
3=>'Still Wednesday',
4=>'Already Thursday'
5=>'Now it\'s Friday',
6=>'Saturday, party time!',
7=>'Ohh, Sunday');

and then just echo $captions[$dayOfWeek]

slight problem though, you havent set the $dayOfWeek variable i wud use:

PHP Code:

<?php



$day = date("l");



if ($day == "Monday") {

echo "today is monday";

}

elseif ($day == "Tuesday") {

echo "today is tuesday";

}

elseif ($day == "Wednesday") {

echo "today is wednesday";

}

elseif ($day == "Thursday") {

echo "today is thursday";

}

elseif ($day == "Friday") {

echo "today is friday";

}

elseif ($day == "Saturday") {

echo "today is saturday";

}

elseif ($day == "Sunday") {

echo "today is sunday";

}

else {

echo "PHP Error: Cannot determine day comment...";

}



?>

Hello,

Just to add to dennispopel'x post.

PHP Code:

// 'w' param gets you a zero-based numerical index for the day of a week, starting Sunday.

// Therefore, if you want to use this with dennispopel's array,

// Sunday should be indexed with 0 (zero), instead of 7.

$dayOfWeek = date('w'); 

My 2 cents.
