if you’re doing it in flash you don’t need to use php for it

flash has actions to do this for you … just apply them to a dynamic text box

something like getCurrentDay etc … i’ll have to look up the variables

its pretty easy though  
you should search for a tutorial b/c i’m pretty sure theres one floating around this site

-edit-  
i found it  
do this tutorial … its pretty easy 🙂
