The answer to this question is a small application that keeps track of the current date and time, and uses this datetime information to choose among a list of quotations.  It's not hard, but it has a lot of moving parts that are elemental in PHP and MySQL.

Once you have created a data base of quotations, you would need to write some code to choose among the rows that would be returned from the results set in response to a query.  Do you have any test data or any code written yet?

It might be easier to use a text file of quotes and simply pull a random quote on each page load.

@padas: That makes sense to me, but the author wants to change the text every 24 hours.  I think Forbes.com does something like this.  So it might be better to exert a little more control over the choice of the quote.  We will learn more about the scope of the task when we find out if there is any PHP experience.

Thank you for the replies.

I have a decent history of programming (extensive Visual Basic and some CSS, Action Script, Perl, and in the old days, Fortran and COBOL). I used PHP for the first time to get my form working on my site, but haven't done much more with PHP.

As I am looking for a simple solution, pulling a quote at each page load would work.

How should I proceed?

Ray, this is a decent workaround for now--thanks for the script!

Thanks for the points, ~Ray
