Ad Rotator

[Anon]

I have an area on my front page that I want to have three image areas rotate random images. Does anyone have any code that will let me do that.

Thanks

try this

<?php
$seperator = "|"; // you can change this to whatever you want

$arr = array();
$search = array();
$file = file("ads.txt");
for ($i=0;$i<count($file);$i++) {
list($name, $image, $url) = explode($seperator, $file[$i]);
$file[$i]["name"] = $name;
$file[$i]["image"] = $image;
$file[$i]["url"] = $url;
}
$adnum = rand(0, count($file));
printf("<a href='%s'>%s</a>", $file[$adnum]["url"], $file[$adnum]["image"]);
?>

then you could make a file named ads.txt and format it like

ad1|http://www.mysite.com/ads/ad1.gif|http://www.othersite.com/
ad2|http://www.mysite.com/ads/ad2.gif|http://www.othersite2.com/

Doh made a mistake

use this code instead
<?php
$file = file("ads.txt");
$ads = array();
for ($i=0;$i<count($file);$i++) {
list($name, $image, $url) = explode("|", $file[$i]);
$ads[$i]["name"] = $name;
$ads[$i]["image"] = $image;
$ads[$i]["url"] = $url;
}
$adnum = rand(0, (count($file)-1));
printf("<a href='%s'><img src='%s'></a>", $ads[$adnum]["url"], $ads[$adnum]["image"]);
?>
