I am new to PHP programming and need some help. I have an image that i have show up each May for the month with $mymonth = date("m", mktime()), but i want to set up a date range for it to show up. Ex. 4-13 to 5-13 each year. How can I do that? Any help would be great.

There are loads of ways, but hopefully as you're new to PHP this one will be easy to follow and make sense:

$start_date = strtotime('4 August 2007');
$end_date = strtotime('9 October 2007');
$current = time();

if ($current >= $start_date && $current <= $end_date)
{
	// Do whatever should only happen between the
	// 4th of August and the 9th of October here
}

strtotime() is extremely powerful / useful, and well worth reading about:
