Sorry but I'm new with PHP and I thank very much if anybody can help me and give me a free scrip for this problem:
I have a site and there's a page that should be diferent depending on the day of the month.
How can I make a script that loads the right page depending on the users computer date.?
I explain better: in the root of the site I have, for instance, 31 pages for the October month and the last page of September: 30September.php, 01oct.php, 02oct.php, 03oct.php, ... 10oct.php, 11oct.php... 29oct.php, 30oct.php, 31oct.php, 01nov.php.
In my contry, today is October, 1 but in another country still is only September 30.
later, in my country still is October 1 but in Japan, for instance is now October 2
How can I make to show to the user the page corresponding to the date in his country ?
I will thank you vary much.

PHP Code:

<?php



// get local time info

$local = localtime( time(), TRUE );

// make a timestamp based on local time

$localtime = mktime

(

    $local['tm_hour'],

    $local['tm_min'],

    $local['tm_sec'],

    $local['tm_mon'] + 1,

    $local['tm_mday'],

    $local['tm_year'] + 1900

);

// set file name

$filename = strtolower( date( 'dM', $localtime ) ) . '.php';



echo $filename; // 05oct.php



?>

Hi Keith !

Thank you for your so quickly answer. I try the code you give me but there is 2 little problems:

1 - The date given is the server date and not the user's computer date (for instance the date in Japan, the date in France or the date in New York). Understand my problem ?

2 - The code you given only stamps a string in the page (for instance 07oct.php). Is missing the code that call and show a page/file with the name like 07oct.php

Can you help me a little more ?

Sorry for boring you. Perhaps all the problem is that I'm new at programing in php

The file load problem Is no more a problem. I put this code and it works fine:

if ((include $filename) == 'OK') {
include($filename);
echo 'OK';
}

The problem now is only the first problem : The user's date and not the server's date.

Thanks

To get the visitor's date, you need to use javascript and refresh/pass the date as $_GET parameters. I took the following from the example in the PHP manual and modified it to send the visitor's MM/DD. This works in IE6. I will leave it up to you to do the code to take the two values and form the file name -

PHP Code:

<?php

if (isset($_GET['umm']) AND isset($_GET['udd'])) {

  // output the value gotten from the browser as a test

  echo "Your MM: {$_GET['umm']} Your DD: {$_GET['udd']}<br />\n";

} else {

  // form and pass the date variables



  echo "<script language='javascript'>\n";

  echo "var d=new Date()\n";

  echo "var dd=d.getDate()\n";

  echo "var mm=d.getMonth()\n";

  echo "  location.href=\"${_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?${_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']}"

            .  "&umm=\" + mm + \"&udd=\" + dd;\n";

  echo "</script>\n";

  exit();

}

?>

It seems a shame to have to bother using Java. Being simplistic couldn't you just default to a particular date (based on GMT or whatever) and then just have a couple of buttons saying "up a day" or "down a day"?

Mab :

I Want to thank You very, very much. With the alteration I make to call the page instead of only stamp the day and the month on the browser, it works perfectly.
Down I shaw all the code I use now.
In the code you give I saw that first it sends a question to the user's browser and ask the date.
The answer given is transfered by string to the adress of the page in the browser and then the server gives de page of the day of the user's computer.
My only question is: what append if the user has the javascript disabled ?
Once again, than's
Your friend

Code:

<?php 
if (isset($_GET['umm']) AND isset($_GET['udd'])) { 
  // output the value gotten from the browser as a test 
  //echo "Your MM: {$_GET['umm']} Your DD: {$_GET['udd']}<br />\n"; 
  // set file name
$mes = $_GET['umm'];  // I'm portguese. In my language mes = month
$dia = $_GET['udd'];  //  "     "        "   "    "    dia =  day
$filename = strtolower($dia . $mes) . '2006.php';  // In portugal we use the date in this format : dd/mm/yyyy
// echo $filename; // 05oct.php 
if ((include $filename) == 'OK') { 
	include($filename); 
	echo 'OK'; 
} 
  
} else { 
// form and pass the date 
 echo "<script language='javascript'>\n"; 
 echo "var d=new Date()\n"; 
 echo "var dd=d.getDate()\n"; 
 echo "var mm=(d.getMonth() +1 ) \n"; 
 echo "location.href=\"${_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?${_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']}" 
            .  "&umm=\" + mm + \"&udd=\" + dd;\n"; 
 echo "</script>\n"; 
 exit(); 
}
