Can someone modify this easy code please

TwistedLogix

<?php $links = array
(
'<a href="link1" />HERE</a>',
'<a href="link2" />HERE</a>',
'<a href="link3" />HERE</a>',
'<a href="link4" />HERE</a>',
'<a href="link5" />HERE</a>',
'<a href="link6" />HERE</a>',
);

$max = count($links)-1;
$rand = rand(0, $max);
?>

<?print $links[$rand];?>

I need it to go in order from top down, then start again. Not random like it is.

Thanks.

not 100% clear, do you want to show all the links at once or one at a time in order?

The first is easy the 2nd not so. If 2nd way are you expecting to show them one at a time for a particular site visitor or move through the list no mater who hits the page(may as wel stick with random for that-same basic effect much less hasell)

Yeah one at a time in order.

Just so everyone gets a chance at their referral link being shown before it moves on.

We dont want to have to make it random because soemone might come in way later than someone else and yet, theyll get referrals before them. So to make it fair, we need to make it run in order of signup.

Is it easier to put a timer on it, say, rotate to next in 7 days?

If you only want to display one link per week, then put your all your links in a file or db and then put the current link in a file or memcache. Then create a script that runs once per week (chronjob or similar) that gets the next link in question and overwrites the file/memcache entry keeping the current link.
