I wrote a site that has a daily devotional on it, and contains links to previous and next days. Here's the code: <?php // assume that $month, $day, $year, contain the current month, day, year // could also use direct calls to date() instead, if this is for today list ($prev_year, $prev_month, $prev_day) = split (" ", date("Y m d", mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day-1,$year))); list ($next_year, $next_month, $next_day) = split (" ", date("Y m d", mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day+1,$year))); // build your links // this will, of course, change with your dating schema $prev_link = "http://yourdomain.com/?$prev_year-$prev_month-$prev_day; $next_link = "http://yourdomain.com/?$next_year-$next_month-$next_day; // display them print "<a href=\"$prev_link\">yesterday</a><br>"; print "<a href=\"$next_link\">tomorrow</a>"; ?> This doesn't take into account whether or not yesterday or tomorrow's objects or files or whatever actually exists. Since that is site-specific, you'll need to add that sort of logic yourself. Hope that helps! -- [ joel boonstra | jboonstra@gospelcom.net ]
