Here's a good tutorial that can help you out: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/62/0.php

What scott said, but your CSS for the background image is messed up. It would be like this:

background-color: #000;

I also tried this out a while ago. As I was encountering frustration like you, I felt like it wasn't really worth it :)You could probably find your mistakes if you want, but I think that it's easiest to download an all-in-one package, like WAMP (http://www.en.wampserver.com/download.php). It even has a nice little interface that allows you to easily enable/disable the services.

If you want the image to be in the background, you can make an image at just the right size so you put the BG image in the position you want it (using the same background color that you want throughout - black) and use a little bit of CSS, rather than HTML:

background: #000 url(link to image) no-repeat;

You could just do it with HTML by putting it all in a table and using <td valign="middle"> for the td tag.

What you can do is put the video (or the whole page) on a div and use the following settings:

<div onclick="location.href='link to main site';" style="cursor: pointer;"> [movie code] </div>

Okay, sorry about that - I've found a way... tested it out.For me, I used this:

<?putenv("TZ=US/Pacific");echo date("H:i");?>

Here's a list of the country codes (what you would replace US/Pacific with): http://www.theprojects.org/dev/zone.txtMake sure that line is at the top of your file if you want all of the times changed.

You can put the following code somewhere in your PHP file:

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

Change the UTC to your liking, obviously. I found that information (there's a lot more if you're interesting) here.

Try this outDelete the following code:

background-color: #555;

and replace it with this:

background: url([link to the gif you want to use]) no-repeat;
