[TUTORIAL] Rotative Banners in PHP

[DarkDragonLord]

after you place my script, just change the html extension to .php

if stay in .html, server will not read the <?php tags :P

.
JUST AN ADD-ON:


If you want to add this to everypage of your website, instead of copying/pasting the code on every page, just do a new .php page and paste the code there. Add all things you want and save. NO NEED to put html tags or anything, just put the <?php and the codes, close with ?> and its done.

Then, in the place you want to add the code in the pages, put:

<?php
@include("NAME OF THE PHP FILE WITH CODES.php");
?>

Then, everytime that you need to change the code, instead of changing in all files, just change the php with the code.
AND, the @ before the include is, to when the file you including does not exist, instead of givin that PHP ERROR: include in line xx error etcs and show everyone your acc name (root/XXXX/public_html/etc) , just show nothing. ^^

Got bored, don't want to do my homework... Here's a compact version:

//Store data in multidimensional array with associative indexes
$banner=array(
    array(
        'img'=>'http://ddl.exofire.net/images/banner2.gif',
        'url'=>'www.google.com.br',
        'alt'=>'its google lol'),
    array(
        'img'=>'http://ddl.exofire.net/images/468x80_banner.gif',
        'url'=>'ddl.exofire.net',
        'alt'=>'my website')
    );
//Generate random index
$index=rand(0,count($banner)-1);
//Select and reference current banner
$cur=&$banner[$index];
//Generate output
$out="<a href='$cur[url]'><img src='$cur[img]' alt='$cur[alt]'></a>"; 

Using just one main array allows the related data to be closer so it isn't so spread out.
I didn't test it, but it ought to work. Be sure you do something with $out.

Aside from adding border='0' to the image and inserting a title tag into the href, that pretty much sums it up

YOu could still use shuffle if you like though.

Are you sure its not the templates your looking at?
Either way you could place an iframe and use DDL's script.

tried that, the rest of my page doesn't show up
