Question about time...

Hi Everyone, I am attempting to get the logic of something figured out and I thought someone might be able to confirm what I'm thinking :) I want to be able to display something like an image of a turkey during the month of november from now until I'm dead. I was playing around with mktime and it showed very different time stamps for 11/1/07 and 11/1/08 so I can't set it to compare specifically to the timestamp.. But, would I be able to have it evaluate the string stored in php as 11/1/07 and create a timestamp to compare todays date to, and if it matches within the month, have it display the turkey? and if not, have it display a different graphic? I'm attempting to be able to make small changes to my website without having to remember to do them or change them :) I hope I've made enough sense that someone can point me in the right direction :) Thanks for looking! -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
