Expire a web page and redirect to another

[bbgraph]

Does anyone have a suggestion for doing this with a date function
rather than the typical content=(number of seconds) function? I have an
events page that I'd like to expire on a certain date and, in it's
place, have a noevents page displayed. My server has Perl, Php and
FrontPage extensions installed but I haven't been able to find a script
anywhere that will do the job.

Thanks in advance
Bob

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but why is it more complicated than (ASP
version)

if (Date expireDate) then
response.redirect "noevents.asp"
end if

?

$expire = ??;//the date & time you want
if(time() $expire){
header('Location: http://www.example.com/noevents.php');
exit;
}

But wouldn't it be more logical just to display upcoming events on the page,
if you can use PHP? No matter where and when the user goes to the page,
they'll always see the events to come. That's probably what the user wants,
or do you want a date-related page specifically?

Firstly, you have to decide whether that date should be the UTC/GMT
date, or the user's local date, or some other local date (perhaps
yours), or that it does not matter.

And you need to decide whether a copy of the page kept locally by the
reader needs to expire itself on the date in question.
