Change Background Color using php - immi - 10-13-2009
Hello
Keep enjoy using great SF forum
SCRIPT DESCRIPTION:
--------------------
This changes the colour of the background depending on the day of the week! Just place this after the (/head tag) and before the (body) tag (which you will have to take out)
With this code you can make your page more attractive, by having random colors.
CODE:
-----------
PHP Code:
<?
$today = date("w");
$bgcolor = array(
"#FF0000", "#00FF00", "#0000FF", "#FFFF00",
"#FF00FF", "#00FFFF", "#FFFFFF"
);
?>And change the <body> tags with the following code:
PHP Code:
<body bgcolor="<? print ($bgcolor[$today] - 1);?>">
---
That's it
Enjoy

The date() function used witht the parameter "w" returns the number of a day (1-7), that is then used to ouput right member of $bgcolor array
@OP
You may want to consider this line as false.
PHP Code:
<body bgcolor="<?print("$bgcolor[$today]");?>">
The first element of an array is always = 0, so your line will never use the first member "#FF0000"
The solution is
PHP Code:
<body bgcolor="<? print ($bgcolor[$today] - 1);?>">

np mate ....
I lkie that you use date("w") and then directly access the array, I've seen so many people doing if and switches to get this little script to work

And I had an idea based on this script..... Changes the color based on the four seasons
PHP Code:
function fourSeasons() {
$month = date("m");
$color = "#ff0000";
if($month >= 3 && $month <= 5) {
$color = "#59bd0f";
}elseif($month >= 6 && $month <= 8) {
$color = "#fece60";
}elseif($month >= 9 && $month <= 11) {
$color = "#7e5f29";
}elseif($month == 12 || $month <= 2) {
$color = "#8ed7e8";
}
return $color;
}
print '<body bgcolor="'.fourSeasons().'">';
