Can anybody point me to a tutorial on how to assign a different background image each day? Or if anybody can show me how to do this, I'd greatly appreciate since I'm really dumb in coding. Thank you.

Yo man try not to demand things...


function chgDailyImg() 
{ 
var imagearray = new Array(); 
imagearray[0] = "sundaypic.jpg"; 
imagearray[1] = "mondaypic.jpg"; 
imagearray[2] = "tuesdaypic.jpg"; 
imagearray[3] = "wednesdaypic.jpg"; 
imagearray[4] = "thursdaypic.jpg"; 
imagearray[5] = "fridaypic.jpg"; 
imagearray[6] = "saturdaypic.jpg";

var d = new Date(); /*** create a date object for use ***/ 
var i = d.getDay(); /*** use the date object to get the day of the week - this will be a number from 0 to 6 - sunday=0, saturday=6 -it's the way counting works in javascript it starts at 0 like in the arrays ***/ 
document.getElementById("dailyImg").src = imagearray[i]; 
}

PHP Version:

<style type="text/css">
body{background: url(images/<?php 
$day = strtolower(strftime('%A'));
echo $day;
?>.jpg) no-repeat left top;}
</style>

This will output (depending on the day):

body{background: url(images/wednesday.jpg) no-repeat left top;}
