Hey japamor,

Many thanks to iMan and cd34. That's saved me hours of work.
Cool.
It's usually the "little" things that takes time.
And if you're just learning PHP, and don't know any other C type of language, some of the most common mistakes, besides the php tags, are: To not put a semi colon a the end of a line, mixing up equal operator (== and/or ===) with assignment operator (=), using a bitwise operator (&, |) when you intend to use a boolean operator (&&, ||).

There are of course more... but I think these are the most common little buggers that you should pay attention to

Btw, although I totally agree with cd34, here's a "quick and dirty" way to do the daily photo:
<?php
for($i=0; $i<7; $i++){
if(date("w") == $i){
echo "<img src='http://www.japamor.com/banners/ferrocash/sfs/200x250_00$i.gif'>";
}// if
}// for
?>

This requires your pictures to be named in a sequential way though.. with 0,1,2,3.. etc. where the $i is in the "img src" tag.

Many ways lead to Rome,
happy coding
