Re: How to change pictures everyday using php

Hello Luigi,

What you could try: without using a database.
1. create a file with all of the picture names. named: pictures.txt
name1.jpg
name2.jpg
name3.jpg


2. use date() to give you the day of the year

$todayspicture = 'defaultpic.jpg';
$dayofyear = date("z"); // day of year 0-365
// today is day 149 so to start from zero subtract from 149 from $dayof year
$lines = file("pictures.txt");
if(count($lines)<$dayofyear) $todayspicture = $lines[$dayofyear];

Hope this helps
