Help please!

Hi all,

Great forum - and very informative!

I a ma very, very newbish PHP guy. My question is probably pretty easy, but, I searched the forum and could not find the answer.

I have a page I would like to only load on a specified date and time. How would I go about this. In other words, if someone went to the page before the defined time/date, it would say something like "Thank you, please come back in X days".

On the assigned date, the full content of the page would load.

Does this make sense?

Can anyone help? I'm already use includes for the header and footers, so, adding additional code to that page should not be an issue.

Thanks!
Larry

$allowed_date = '2007:11:05'; // example date YYYY:MM:DD

$today = date("Y:m:d");

if($today != $allowed_date)  {

echo '<p>This page cannot be accessed today.</p>';

} else {

//display the page
}

See the date() function for more ways to manipulate it to suit your needs
