Greetings from a second day newbie to php.
I think I have figured out a way to explode a field in a csv file (like
11-08-03) and implode it as 031108 and then compare it to the current
date(ymd) to display data after the current date. What I would like to now
do is use the 11 and display Nov. Can anybody help or point me in the right
direction?
Thanks.

Any particular reason why you're not using a database for this?

My first idea (probably not the best) was:
make an array and select from that:
<?php
$months = array('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun',
'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
// do whatever you need, including
$month = 11;
// and, after being real sure 1 <= $month <= 12
echo $months[$month-1];
?>

Thanks, that was where I was heading when, while driving home this evening,
I came up with something that apparently works just fine. I can now pull the
next event or all events from a csv file using the following:
<?
$readfile = file("events.txt");
for ($k=0; $k<=count($readfile)-1; $k++) {
$field = split(";",$readfile[$k]);
$date = date("Ymd");
$piece = explode("-", $field[0]);
$array = array($piece[2], $piece[0], $piece[1]);
$c = implode("", $array);
$d = date("jS",mktime(0,0,0,$piece[0],$piece[1],$piece[2]));
$m = date("M",mktime(0,0,0,$piece[0],$piece[1],$piece[2]));
if ($c >= $date) {
print ("<a class=\"noUL\" href=\"javascript :void(0);\"
onclick=\"window.open('events/$field[0].htm', 'NextEvent', 'scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes, height=600, width=650')\">$m $d - $field[1]</A>");
exit;
}
}
?>
The csv is setup like:
11-06-2003;Beat the Pro;Individual play;tee choice;8:30 AM Shotgun

Great googly-moogly! Now that's newbie code if I ever saw it! :)
$thefile = file("events.txt");
while (list(,$record) = each($thefile)) {
$fields = split(";", $record);
$stamp = strtotime("$field[0] 00:00:00");
if $stamp > time() {
[do stuff]
}
}
And you can use the date() function on $stamp to get whatever formatted
date info you want. strtotime() is your friend.

I want to thank Alan and Jon for sending me in the right direction. With the
following I can pull the next golf tournament from a csv file and display a
link to a popup for more information - and in addition, display the days
until and sign up deadline. Thanks again for your help.
Seems to work nicely... http://www.mgagcai.org/
<?
$thefile = file("events.csv");
while (list(,$record) = each($thefile)) {
$field = split(";", $record);
$stamp = strtotime("$field[0]");
if (ceil(($stamp - time())/86400) >= 0) {
echo "<a href=\"javascript :void(0);\" onclick=\"window.open('/"
,date("Ymd", strtotime ($field[0])), ".html', 'NextEvent', 'scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes, height=600, width=650')\">", date("M jS", strtotime
($field[0])), " - $field[1]</A><br />";
echo "<span class=\"sans\">";
if (ceil(($stamp - time())/86400) > 7) {
echo ceil(($stamp - time())/86400), " days away";
} else if (ceil(($stamp - time())/86400) >= 4) {
echo "Only ", ceil(($stamp - time())/86400), " days away. Sign up by
Wednesday evening.";
} else if (ceil(($stamp - time())/86400) == 3) {
echo "Only ", ceil(($stamp - time())/86400), " days away. Sign up by
this evening.";
} else if (ceil(($stamp - time())/86400) == 2) {
echo "Only ", ceil(($stamp - time())/86400), " days away. Too late to
sign up.";
} else if (ceil(($stamp - time())/86400) == 1) {
echo "Only ", ceil(($stamp - time())/86400), " day away. Too late to
sign up.";
} else {
echo "Event is today";
}
echo "</span>";
exit;
}
}
?>
