I FIXED IT, It was because the quotes were not right...I hate those syntax errors! I should never 'assume something is right because it looks right'...

That's how I made an *** out of myself.

PHP Code:


$background_color = "#506987"; // default GREY background
switch(date("md")) {
     
     case 0101:
       // New Years Day background color (light green) on 01/01
       $background_color = "#D5FFD5";
     break;

     case 0202:
       // Ground Hog Day background color (dark green) on 02/02
       $background_color = "#178E02";
     break;

     case 0214:
       // Valentines Day background color (Pink'ish Purple) on 02/14
       $background_color = "#FE5DCB";
     break;

     case 0422:
       // Earth Day background color (Earth Blue) on 04/22
       $background_color = "#2C7DF8";
     break;

     case 0704:
       // July 4th - Independence Day background color (Yellow) on 07/04
       $background_color = "#FFF20A";
     break;

     case 1111:
       // Veterans Day background color (white) on 11/11
       $background_color = "#FFFFFF";
     break;

     case 1031:
       // automatic halloween background color (light orange) on 10/31
       $background_color = "#FFE6CC";
     break;

     case 1225:
       // xmas day background color (light green) on 12/25
       $background_color = "#D5FFD5";
     break;
} 


Thanks again!

Based on this same exact script, is it possible to change an image instead of a color? Just curious...I am going to look it up, but a quick response would be nice.

After a little more work, that is now accomplished here is the code for anyone if they find it of interest:

PHP Code:


<?php

/////////////////////////////////////////////// Background Color Changer Code //////////////////////////////////////////////



$holiday_image = "<img src=\"images/newyear.png\">"; // replace image to what you want displayed
switch(date("md")) { 
      
     case 0101: 
       // replace image to what you want displayed on 01/01 of every year
       $holiday_image = "<img src=\"images/newyear.png\">"; 
     break; 

      case 0202: 
       // replace image to what you want displayed on 02/02 of every year
       $holiday_image = "<img src=\"images/newyear.png\">"; 
     break; 

     case 0214: 
       // replace image to what you want displayed on 02/14 of every year
       $holiday_image = "<img src=\"images/newyear.png\">"; 
     break; 

     case 0422: 
       // replace image to what you want displayed on 04/22 of every year

     break; 

     case 1111: 
       // replace image to what you want displayed on 11/11 of every year
       $holiday_image = "<img src=\"images/newyear.png\">"; 
     break; 

     case 1031: 
       // replace image to what you want displayed on 10/31 of every year
       $holiday_image = "<img src=\"images/newyear.png\">"; 
     break; 

     case 1225:

     break; 
}

<?php echo($holiday_image);?>

Thanks!

is it possible to change an image instead of a color?

Yes, indeed it is.

Could you help with code to post images rather then color?
