I want to use getdate(mday) to rename a specific file according to the day of the month Example; filename=datedfile.php $dates = getdate(); if($dates['mday']=="30") /30th day of month ---THEN I need to do this-- $do = unlink("daily.html"); /daily.html is a specific file for that day $file = 'daily30.html'; $newfile = 'daily.html'; if (copy($file, $newfile)) --I have 31 files---1 for each day of the month When a browser requests daily.html---the php code in datedfile.php will check for the day of the month and then copy the correct file. OR if somebody has a better way to get this accomplished THEN Please help me, PLEASE?

Why not Code: $file = date("d").'html'; include($file); or Code: $file = date("d").'html'; $myFile = file($file); echo $myFile; Then, if your files are called 01.html, 02.html, 03.html .... 30.html, 31.html, then you will be setting the variable $file to be whatever the day is eg 10.html Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First
