php include help (with date function)? - GoFuckYourself.com

nadanada · 06-09-2006, 09:32 PM

I'm rusty with php, so I don't even know if this can be done. is there a way to use the date function in the page url for the include?

I know you can replace words with the date function to retrieve a file, example:

<img src="<? echo(date('M'))?>.jpg" />

so is it possible to do something like:

<?php include "<? echo(date('M'))?>.php"; ?>

thanks!

if i understand you correctly, i think it would be more like

<?php include date('M').".php"; ?>

edit: which would try to include Jun.php (for this month)
