Creating a "Schedule

[JMusic]

I want to know how to make a certain chunk of text and/or an image ONLY appear until a predetermined ending date. How is that done?

For instance, if I want the word "Big Party" to show up until October 31st, 2003 and then disappear, how would that be coded?

You could try:

// last date is midnight on 1/1/2004

$now = time();
$last_date = mktime(0,0,0,1,1,2003);
if($now<$last_date)
{
print("You still have time to herd those wombats");
}
else
{
print("Those wombats aint going anywhere");
}
