Hi.

I'm looking for a script that will change content depending on the time of the year. For example. I want to display "Book Now and Save £300" (Before 12th July 2007. Then it will change to "Book Now and Save £200" (Before 12th September 2007 and so on.

I have worked with scripts before that displays a diffurant line by time. But I cant seem to get it to work with a date.

Does anyone know of a script that can do this?

You could use the built in PHP date function, used with an IF

IF date()=somedate do something
ELSEIF date()=somethingelse do something else
ELSEIF date()=yetanother thing etc etc

do something can be echo your price for that year, get a specific price from the db, or if the prices rarely change perhaps make a variable = your price

Another option is to use a PHP switch, and each case will be each price for the part of year

Even if I could find a full script somewhere for you for this exact thing (which I couldn't from a quick search), you would need to understand a little about PHP to implement it into your own site.
php.net is a good place to search for SWITCH and DATE() if you need to learn just those
