get date (for today, tommorrow, in 2 days....)

[François Laroche]

hey guys,

I need help with a script:

<script>

var dayarray=new Array("Dimanche","Lundi","Mardi","Mercredi","Jeudi","Vendredi","Samedi")
var montharray=new Array("Janvier","Février","Mars","Avril","Mai","Juin","Juillet","Août","Septembre","Octobre","Novembre","Décembre")

function getthedate(){
var mydate=new Date()
var year=mydate.getYear()
if (year < 1000)
year+=1900
var day=mydate.getDay()
var month=mydate.getMonth()
var daym=mydate.getDate()
if (daym<10)
daym="0"+daym

var cdate="<small><font color='000000'
face='Arial'><b>"+dayarray[day]+" "+daym+" "+montharray[month]+"
"+year+"</b></font></small>"

if (document.all)
document.all.clock.innerHTML=cdate
else if (document.getElementById)
document.getElementById("clock").innerHTML=cdate
else
document.write(cdate)
}
if (!document.all&&!document.getElementById)
getthedate()
function goforit(){
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
setInterval("getthedate()",1)
}

</script>
<span id="clock"></span>

There is my problem, this script will show me the date, and it works,
perfectly, but I need to make some change... I want it to show me
today's date, the date of tomorrow AND the date in 2 days.

for example, I want it to show:
April 30, 2004 (<---------today's date)
May 1, 2004
May 2, 2004

and if you are wondering why I need this... there will be a link
beside each date to download the teetimes of the day (working in a
golf club, and Im the webmaster)

Thx for your help!
and sorry if my english isn't prefect....

If it is an internet site, you need to realize that some people don't
have javascript enabled. This sort of thing, which is intrinsic to the
functioning of the site, is best done in a server-side script so all
clients can access it.
IMO, it's also a lot easier to implement server-side, but that's just my
opinion. YMMV.
Do you have a server-side scripting language, such as ASP, JSP, or PHP?

One can take a snapshot of GMT both server-side and client-side, and
compare the two results(if both are present).

No I don't have such server-side...... what do you suggest me to learn
between asp jsp and php?

What server side languages does your host provide?
Rule of thumb:
Linux/Apache server : PHP is probably available
Windows server: ASP

As far as javascript:

function daysFromNow(num){// num=integer
var d=new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate()+num)
return d;
}

That depends on what your server (host) has.
Once you know one, they're all pretty easy to pick up. They all support
pretty much the same kinds of things, just the syntax is different.

PHP is free and so is the apache web server, so if you want to play,
more than likely you could install both on your home computer.

Mick's post provided the javascript for the date stuff for the interim.
