You're right, I don't have permission to modify the httpd.conf file but can request mods through the host. I think that's not a good idea because they can change their policy in the future or I may need to change hosts.

I don't have to use Perl - I'm sure PHP (my new miracle language...) can do it well too. It's just something someone wrote for me a while ago that uses a Perl CGI to check server time and load a graphic based on a schedule that changes each day of the week. It's running at http://ehydrant.com/open_new.shtml. For an hour a day the graphic changes.

it is better if you try with div and java.

I have a similar problem...

I'm a newbie and am currently teaching myself php and html...currently using dreamweaver and have been able to be pretty lazy with regards to learing code but now am using php...and got to type it in myslef....its good for me.

But i have a menu system with rollovers and want to assign a onclick variable to them, then have the main content change and navigate to a php page.....

Have tried href=<?PHP $page= "home.php";?> and this doesn't work should i be using onclick? How? Do i need to reset $pager variable each time....how?

And in my main content i have written <?PHP include("$page");?> and when it does it puts a lot of space in the content page.

This is a basic page i'm writing for this page you can view the source there isn't any php in it yet.
