    I would like to have PHP decide which block of text to display on the web
    page. I'm doing this in javascript now, but think PHP could do it a little
    cleaner. I saw once (and can't find again) something like this:

    <?php
       $date = getdate();
      $dow = $date["wday"];

      if ($dow == 0)
      {
    ?>
      Sunday text goes here
    <?php
      }
      if ($dow == 1)
     {
    ?>
      Monday text goes here

    I don't want to put it into variables and use echo as it is quite large. I
    pre-load a weeks worth of stuff and display different stuff each day.

    BTW, I did go to the www.php.com web site and looked for it under "if" and
    "alternative syntax".

    TIA,
    Jer
