I would like to make a webpage - which hotlinks the images
from other sites. These images change every day.....

I basically want to do the same as what this guy has done http://miette.develooper.com/~ask/comics/ but with my own choice.

for example
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/nq/2005/nq050129.gif

but tommorrow it will be: nq050130.gif
etc etc

the image for example is taken from this page - http://www.ucomics.com/nonsequitur/

is there any trick so it will automatically find the latest image eg "*.gif"?
:blink:

thanx

a php script will do this nicely:

<?php
$year=date("Y"); $month=date("m"); $day=date("j"); $time=date("H");

print("<img src=\"http://images.ucomics.com/comics/nq/2005/" .$year . $month . $day . ".gif alt=\"weathermap\" />");

?>

thats off the top of my head, but should work :)
