You can use the date() function.
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

For example:

// Switch statement based off server time
switch (date('H i s D'))
{
case '08 10 30 Mon':
print 'Image 1';
break;
case '08 45 10 Mon':
print 'Image 2';
break;
}

Depending on how complex you want to get, you can do this by other
means. Can you explain more?

You need some JavaScript for this part. Either use Ajax, reload the
page, or some other system.
