How to do this please help?

Hi so i was wondering how do i do this so each day the text updates like prayer times each day there something different ? http://www.salahtimes.com/usa/los-angeles — example… and also make it so each day the text updates and every month the whole month times update!!!

Have you even tried to solve your problem by writing some code? Can you show us what you have?

Are the times calculated based on a calendar of some sort, or would you need to store them in a database? Either way, it’s easily do-able, you just need to make a start and show us if you encounter problems.

Thanks @droopsnoot umm i think its stored in a database but i need help making it could you help?

If you show us what code you already have then we will be able to tell you how to fix it.

thats the problem i dont have any code i need help making it!

That is a problem, but not insurmountable. What you are essentially asking is how to put together something that is complex even for a team of developers that you can do by yourself.

If you have the time and are willing to learn, you’re in the right place.

I’m not Muslim so I have no idea of prayer times (I pray wherever I am whenever I feel the urge to).

The first step is to rough-draft things out.

i.e. determine what it is you absolutely must have, what things are nice-to-haves, and disregard all else for now.

It seems like one of the crucial things you’re interested in is time

Are there any “rules” for the various prayer times that you could reduce to code that might help?

If not, I think you are going to need a massive database of the values.

Will the information need to be pulled from an external source? If so, you need to find out if you are allowed to have access to that information, and then work out how to pull it onto your site.

Then hire and pay for a competent developer.

I suppose you have to draw a line between: “I could use a bit of help with this.” and: “Can you do lots of work for me free of charge please.”

Clearly this will require some programming, the first thing to establish is what programming/script language are you planning on using for this.

@SamA74 let me restart i had some help before it was using javascript and php so each month the date will change using the date method and then grabbing the text for that certain month like september - septemeber then october-october etc

This is Webby Builds

and if i could get help it would help me in future…

This was originally in the PHP forum and it seems the thread was silently moved to the “Get Started” forum.

@TheLightDev - if you had help and you had working code, then show us the working code. Otherwise, my suggestion still stands.

I lost it in a restart of my computer sublime didnt save it and now its gone
