Update URL address of link on webpage

Hello,

Hoping I am posting this question in the right place. I put the "N" in Newbie ! Part of my Link's address changes daily because it changes with the current date (01/17/07). I would like to create a link where the date part of the link is updated on my HTLM page.

Thanks,

Hi and welcome to DEVPPL.

Does your server support ASP or PHP ?

Ok, I only do PHP programming, not ASP. But this should be very simple, so make a few google searches and you should find the answer.

I'll explain how you should have done it if you were using PHP, you will then understand the basics, then you just have to do it in ASP.

First of all, get the date for today:
$date = date("d/m/Y");

Print out the link:
echo "<a href=\"http://www.site.com/" . $date . "/hello.html">LINK</a>";

And that's all. It should be simple to make it in ASP too.
