Thread: taff button and a date please help

can any one enlighten me as to how i set up a taff button i.e the ones we can download from b.v it says on mine email to a freaind but i dont know how to do the link is it mailto and if so what address to ? also is there a programe around for a date thing for site so they can see what the date is thanks

To have a tell a friend button you need to have a php script that has smtp authentication.

Heres a simple date script, but your page has to be in .php format.

<?
echo date('F j Y');
?>

not sure what you mean about the php script , hoew do i do that ? being a little dimm like i am oh and i will forget the date thing then i think

php is a programming language like html. In order to tell the browser to process the php code, the file has to be .php, if it is .html, it will only look for the html code.

So all you have to do is make sure the page you use the script I gave you on has a .php extension. You can just insert the code I gave you where you want it at and it should work

Please forgive me butting in Watdaflip... Thought this might help... try using notepad (from desktop>start>all programs>accessories<notepad). Paste Watdaflip's script and save as whatever.php. Then use file publisher button in BV to carry this file to your site.
End of butt in - sorry.
