We are using using PHP4 for our INTRANET and using nuke for the basic
purposes. We can do things:

i) Adding a script in the home page (generated by nuke), like using a
script in the place of banner 9right now disabled) or
ii) having a link like "Quote of the day" and creating a separate
page.

Can you please give some clues how to make such script.

Thanks again.
