I need a special page. Can you help?
Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 9:44 pm
I need a new page for my site. I've messed with js but to be honest, I'm not a coder.
The page will automte something for me, saving me valuable time.
When a visitor comes to the site, he or she clicks to see a scope reading. A js 'pops' a reading up for them. I have to upload these every day. Tiresome!!
I want the page to do this:
1. visitor chooses link. (eg aries)
2. Link gets server 'day' from date and adds it to .txt (eg 20.txt).
3. Script then seeks from file named 20.txt the ID of the scope to be displayed. (eg aries=123.txt)
4. The text of 123.txt is displayed in the web page each time it is called. Changing apropriately each (server) day.
I will still have lots of work to do each month but I'll only have to up-load 1 time, the data being stored in flat (txt) files on site.
The server is Unix and all cgi's, perls, asp and php run without any hitches.
Can you help me?
What will I do for you in return?
My site (check the profile) has had over 2.6 million hits in 18 months. It goes stonking crazy in Oct - Jan. I expect it to bring in another 2-3 million visitors this year. (Oct - Jan 2005)
