I am new to PHP programming and need some help. I have an image that i have show up each May for the month with $mymonth = date("m", mktime()), but i want to set up a date range for it to show up. Ex. 4-13 to 5-13 each year. How can I do that? Any help would be great.

There are loads of ways, but hopefully as you're new to PHP this one will be easy to follow and make sense: $start_date = strtotime('4 August 2007'); $end_date = strtotime('9 October 2007'); $current = time(); if ($current >= $start_date && $current <= $end_date) { // Do whatever should only happen between the // 4th of August and the 9th of October here } strtotime() is extremely powerful / useful, and well worth reading about: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk "Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window"
