Can I change web page based on day of the week?

I'd like a different web page to automatically be displayed for each day of the week i.e similar to this websites schedule http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/djs_shows鈥?/a> ...which shows a different schedule depending on what day it is ...is there some sort of script I can use to do this?Can I change web page based on day of the week?I know of a way to do it with PHP.



$date = time();

$day = date(%26quot;l%26quot;, $date); // That's a lowercase L

switch($day){

case %26quot;Sunday%26quot;:

include('./sunday.php');

break;

case %26quot;Monday%26quot;:

include('./monday.php');

break;

...

case %26quot;Saturday%26quot;:

include('./saturday.php);

break;

default:

include('./unknown.php');

break;

}

You would have to use a dynamic PHP page, you could either do this as a redirect, or set up PHP to display the info differently depending on the day of the week.

Take a look at Javascript. You'll have to experiment a bit, but you should be able to set up a counting variable that is tied to the day and which will trigger a loop which will re-write your pages HTML. You might even be able to find a free script that does this in Yahoo YUI.
