random include ?

[filn]

hey all.. my question is this, i have a bunch of full page ads that i want to rotate the display of. each fpa is in its own html file. how can i make it so i can just do include(file); in the main page and have a random fpa displayed ? thanks.

if the ads are in a seperate folder, you can read the folder contents into an array and use the pre-defined random variable to select a number between 0 and count($array). Otherwise, you can make an entry in a text file or database that points to each add page, read that into an array, etc etc.

hope that helps.

Something like:

<?php
$files[]="ad1.html";
$files[]="mikesad.html";
$files[]="lessasad.html";

# Put the srand init stuff here.  see php docs on srand
$fn = rand(0,count($files)-1);
include("$files[$fn]");
?>
