And your problem is?
Have a look at:-http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=2090

3) Do your homework first. Only post the part of the script you're having trouble with! There are generally two types of people- ones that simply dump their entire page or problem and expect everyone to spend hours solving everything for them, and those that do their own homework first, and only ask very specific, manageable questions. The later invariably gets more and better responses from others. When you're lazy, do not expect us to be hardworking for you.

What about your golf script? This forum is not a free coding service or an arm of social security. :rolleyes:

[creative4u]

I see over and over again, that readers want to see the entire script to help better figure out problems?

If I knew where the problem was, I wouldn't need your assistance.

Call me stupid, call me old, call me whatever...I am not looking for someone to do my work for me, but to help me understand what I am doing wrong. Maybe I am too old to even be trying to learn this...and maybe you are too old to be trying to help. Seems you don't have too much patience.

[Philip M]

There are a few key tricks which will help to maximise your chances of useful replies on a forum:-

* Use a descriptive subject line (i.e. not something silly like "Help!" or "Newbie").
* Explain clearly what the problem is, that is say what is actually happening and what you expect to happen. Just saying "it does not work" is not very helpful.
* Be polite but not over-familar, and make it as easy as possible for people to help you. Supply all the information they may need to troubleshoot for you, but don't inundate them with 5,000 lines of irrelevant code.
* Mark up code sections using code tags (use the octothorpe or # button on the toolbar) to make them easier to read.
* Don't double-post your question in this or other forums.
* Don't take other people's voluntary assistance and expertise for granted.

Some of these issues have already been pointed out to you in http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=199130

ok, I figured out the date part. Now any helpmates on how to have the famous persons change for each day of the year. Here is my link to my assignment as I have it now. http://learn.dcc.vccs.edu/ftp/ITP140/cashworth/Tutorial1/births.htm#

If the method isn't provided by the homework assignment, it's probably your job to determine the logic yourself. Common sense would suggest that you calculate the current day's number and display that element from the array.

Here is my link to my assignment as I have it now. http://learn.dcc.vccs.edu/ftp/ITP140/cashworth/Tutorial1/births.htm#That link requires authentication.
