Rotatory banner code

[gerrypolt]

Hi

I was looking to add a rotatory banner on a few of my pages. I was looking for the code to do it.

I have no idea how it would work. So a beginners guide would be great.

Thanks
Gerry

I use something like this. You probably need to know a very basic understanding of PHP but it's pretty straightforward.

<?php
$random_banner = array("http://www.site.com/banner-url-1.png",
                       "http://www.site.com/banner-url-2.png",
               "http://www.site.com/banner-url-3.png");

srand(time());
$sizeof = count($random_banner);
$random = (rand()%$sizeof);

echo("<img src=\"$random_banner[$random]\" alt=\"Poker Banner\" />");
?>

I adapted it from this script snippet:

Thanks Greg

I tried that but couldnt seem to get it to work. I ended up with them just under each other.

I will post both banner code below, if possible could you show me how to add them

Thanks

If you're using WP you might be better off looking for a plugin that can do this for you. It will probably be easier to manage too. What I showed you was pretty basic but if you can't find a plugin that works I will code a simple rotating script for you.

I searched around and found this:

AdRotate | Me and my Mac

Again if that doesn't work just send me a PM and I'll sort something out.

Thanks Greg That plug in works.

Thanks

have a file called whateverer, lets say banners.php and add your banners:

<a href="#"><img src="FULL URL TO IMAGE" alt="" /></a>
<a href="#"><img src="FULL URL TO IMAGE" alt="" /></a>
<a href="#"><img src="FULL URL TO IMAGE" alt="" /></a>

then add this were you want your banner:

<?php $quotes = file("URL TO BANNER.PHP"); $quote = rand(0, sizeof($quotes)-1); echo $quotes[$quote]; ?>
