Simple Birthday Script

digatle · Nov 1, 2003

I'm interested in making a birthday block for my client's site. I want it simple and basic. Based on the system clock is what day it is. Look at the MySQL server for someone's birthday that matches today. If they do put in the following information:

--------------
Happy Birthday
--------------
11/1 - Judy Guess
11/1 - Sam Wise

If no one's birthday is today it looks like:

--------------
Happy Birthday
--------------
No one's birthday today.

I want the admin part of this to be just as simple and basic:

--------------
Birthday Admin
--------------
Add Birthday
Edit Birthday
Remove Birthday

Is there a script out there that does this at a basic level? I've seen a lot of scripts out there that incorporate a birthday block in some package (osCommerse, phpNuke, so forth) but I'm not doing their package. Any suggestions?

digatle,

THIS should give you an idea howto do it in PHP:

Code:

<HTML> <? function celebrate($birthday) { $today = getdate(); if(($birthday[day]==$today["mday"]) && ($birthday[mon]==$today["mon"])) return true; else return false; } /* Let's test it now... */ $joe[day] = 1; $joe[mon] = 11; if(celebrate($joe)) echo "Let's party!"; else echo "Maybe tomorrow then!"; ?> </HTML>

Good luck
