Guys,

I have file "header.jpg" in an images folder

I have 5 other "header.jpg" images in different folders. Dependant on the time of day, i want the original to be replaced with one of the others and for this to rotate each day.

And.....Go.

Can't use that unfortunately as the cms i'm using needs every file name in an xml, I literally need to copy the file to the directory and replace the one that is there, and for that to cycle throughout the day.

I can do it using a batch script on the time sync but wondered if there was a better way to do it.

Chron job, probably the easiest way of doing it.
Not possible to point the CMS to use a php file instead (could set it up so PHP parses XML extentions)? As you could obviously change the headers to output it as an XML file (CMS wouldn't know the difference) and would mean then you could generate the file name accordingly.
