That code will only work in a .asp page and If you are hosted on a Windows Server supporting ASP
Check w/ your host if you don't know
The code goes in your html code where you want the link (repeated for each day)
- you would use it for each link to your pdfs in a folder named news
- you don't need to change the code since it resolves server side to the files
news/janX.pdf where the "i" in the code is for each day of the month
You would need change the "jan" (twice) to "feb" and "mar", etc for each month
That would be 365 links done that way for an entire year!
IMHO a cumbersome solution
