Calculated Value on HTML Page?

[bfanok]

Please help...! I am in need of a solution that would allow me to display a
numberical value on the homepage of a site I'm developing - with that value
increasing by a given increment (e.g. x+24) each day.

I also am in need of a solution or script that would take the resulting value
from above and divide it by another value (e.g. result from above divided by 9)
- and display THAT result separately on the same HTML page.

Can this be done?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's one solution for you in PHP:

<?php
$days = -1*(strtotime("2005-08-17") - strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))) / (60 * 60 *
24); //First date is the start date; second is today's date
echo "The date 2005-08-17 was $days day(s) ago."; //Prints the number of days
since start date
$divisor = 9; //Number to divide days by
$dividend = $days/$divisor;
?>
<p>
If I divide the number of days by <?php echo $divisor; ?>, I get <?php echo
$dividend; ?>.

Thanks - I'll try this. Can I just plug this into my HTML? (I'm not familiar with PHP). Thanks again!

You can only use that script snippet if your host supports PHP. Do they?
