(includes displaying images) Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 19:26:47 +1100 (EST) Hi, I have created a little Christmas countdown on the site using PHP and mySQL. The database controls the images displayed. But to make it simplier as I know the problem does not reflect my db setup or talking to the db I've re-wrote the code into a JavaScript code. So it's easier to read. The problem is the days to Christmas and images displayed display absolutely fine. But when there is 0 days to Christmas the NEW YEAR image does not display. :( But the countdown ones do. Here is the code: *I have commented areas with //* <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function placeimg() { var currentDate = new Date(); // December is month 11 var endDate = new Date(2005, 11, 25, 23, 59, 59); var days = (endDate-currentDate)/1000/60/60/24; var daysRound = Math.floor(days); // Check when to put Sleeps and when to put sleep if (daysRound == 1) {

      var sleeps = "Sleep";

} else {

      var sleeps = "Sleeps";

} if (daysRound<=0) { var alttag = "Merry Christmas!"

      document.write("<a target=\"_top\" href=\"/\"?PHPSESSID=c8b567b9f7640ce57720265db80b4f16gqkchtfzjqddmqgbzkepmohogd081925><img border=\"0\" src=\"/christmas05/"+daysRound+"_days.gif\" alt=\""+alttag+"\" height=\"/50\" width=\"/125\"></a>");

} else {

      var alttag = ""+daysRound+" "+sleeps+" until Christmas"
      document.write("<a target=\"_top\" href=\"/\"?PHPSESSID=c8b567b9f7640ce57720265db80b4f16gqkchtfzjqddmqgbzkepmohogd081925><img border=\"0\" src=\"/christmas05/"+daysRound+"_days"+".gif\" alt=\""+alttag+"\" height=\"50\" width=\"125\"></a>");

} } placeimg(); //--> </script> You can see the code working at http://www.getpaid2reademails.com/ Ignore the PHPSESSID. Also it currently only records time left from your personal clock on your PC. How would I go about getting the server time instead? But of course this would not be ideal for everyone in different countries but I wondered an easy way to do it. Thanks for your time.
