Display certain image depending on time of year

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi, I am new to these forums and would really appreciate some advice on a piece of coding I have done.

Basically what I am trying to do is on our intranet, display a different home page banner depending on the time of the year. For example, display a halloween banner for halloween. So this is the code I have put in to do the trick but as I am no expert on PHP I was wondering if there was an easier way of doing it.

$currday = date('d'); // gets the current day of the year
$currmonth = date('m'); // gets the current month of the year

if ($currmonth == '09') { // if in October, display Halloween banner
if ($currday >= '12' && $currday <='31') {
echo "<img src='images/buttons_banners/newsbar_banner_halloween.jpg' alt='Happy Halloween'/>";
} else {
echo "<img src='images/buttons_banners/newsbar_banner_staff.jpg' alt='Welcome'/>";
}
} elseif ($currmonth == '11') { // if in November, display bonfire night banner
if ($currday >= '03' && $currday <='05') {
echo "<img src='images/buttons_banners/newsbar_banner_bonfire.jpg' alt='remember remember'/>";
} else {
echo "<img src='images/buttons_banners/newsbar_banner_staff.jpg' alt='Welcome'/>";
}
} elseif ($currmonth == '12') { // if in December, display xmas banner
if ($currday >= '01' && $currday <='31') {
echo "<img src='images/buttons_banners/newsbar_banner_xmas.jpg' alt='Merry Christmas'/>";
} else {
echo "<img src='images/buttons_banners/newsbar_banner_staff.jpg' alt='Welcome'/>";
}
} else { // anything else, display default banner
echo "<img src='images/buttons_banners/newsbar_banner_staff.jpg' alt='Welcome'/>";
}

Any help would be appreciated.
