PHP Forums or Easy Script?

[Tek]

Here is Tek’s annoying question of the day!

(two this time)

1.Where is a good php site where people help newbies out?

2. Is there a script out there that will pull set images dependent on time of day?

Thanks!

1. Dig around here:

2. A PHP quickie:

<?php
$hour = date('G');
if($hour > 5) {
$image = "/images/morning.jpg";
$alt = "Mornin' all.";
}
if($hour > 11) {
$image = "/images/afternoon.jpg";
$alt = "Where does the day go.";
}
if($hour > 17) {
$image = "/images/evening.jpg";
$alt = "Getting late.";
}
if($hour > 22 || $hour < 6) {
$image = "/images/night.jpg";
$alt = "Nighty night.";
}
echo "<img src="$image" alt="$alt" />";
?>

=) Awsome! I would just put that PHP scrip in the same folder as my images folder?

[Kafkaesqui]

Put it there and perform an include on your page, or just insert the code into your page, or create a plugin with it. It’s up to you.

Yay! Thank you for your help. =)

(and that link you gave me is great! I needed to figure out how to make a form that linked to SQL and how to get SQL to send the results to a page. When I say I am a newbie… I really mean it. I know how a parse error happens and that is it!)

[Kafkaesqui]

Hey, knowing about parse errors is pretty important! :)

[Tek]

Can I get a little bit more help on this?

I tried to use your wee script that you made but it isn’t working for me. I am trying to call it from the css:
#topimage { background-image: url(images/time.php); }

It’s not working… yet there are no errors either.

Same here. Why won’t it work?
