Ad rotating

K, ive got 4 pages.

ads/ad1.html
ads/ad2.html
ads/ad3.html
ads/ad4.html

they all have a simple html code like <a href="url" target="_blank"><img src="url"></a>

I want to use php include to include 1 of them randomly each time on my homepage. How would i do that?

PHP Code:

---

<?php

   $rand = rand(1, 4);
   if($rand == 1)
   {

       include("ads/ad1.html");

   }
   if($rand == 2)
   {

       include("ads/ad2.html");

   }
   if($rand == 3)
   {

       include("ads/ad3.html");

   }
   if($rand == 4)
   {

       include("ads/ad4.html");

   }

?>

Hope it helps.

Thanks Frog!

//Dont poke this, it'll work, just change values above and add/remove from em
$display=rand(0, sizeof($stuff)-1);
echo $stuff[$display];

so actually if its ad banners it will be quite easier as a image

I'd go for a solution like this rather than the technique you are using above, as it's all in the one file, rather than having a file for each ad :)

Or to shorten the other guys code:

PHP Code:

---

<?php

   $rand = rand(1, 4);
   include("ads/ad".$rand."");

?>

---

Or use javascript. (nicked from clubhabbo)

HTML Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">

        var preloaded = new Array();
        function preloadImages() {
                for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++){
                        preloaded[i] = document.createElement('img');
                        preloaded[i].setAttribute('src',arguments[i]);
                };
        };
preloadImages(
'/images/sitebanners/council.gif',
'/images/sitebanners/voteofficial.gif'

);

var links = new Array(
'/news/show_news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1196059919&archive=&start_from=&ucat=25&',
'/news/show_news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1195081110&archive=&start_from=&ucat=25&'

);

var text = new Array(
'<b>The ClubHabbo Council</b> has returned, and we are hiring new Council Members!',
'Official UK Fansite voting is open, and ClubHabbo needs <b>YOUR</b> vote!'

        );

        var curOffset = 1;

        window.onload=function() {
                document.getElementById('randLink').href = links[0];
                document.getElementById('randImage').src = preloaded[0].src;
                document.getElementById('randText').innerHTML = text[0];
                setInterval(
                function() {
                        document.getElementById('randLink').href = links[curOffset];
                        document.getElementById('randImage').src = preloaded[curOffset].src;
                        document.getElementById('randText').innerHTML = text[curOffset];
                        curOffset = (curOffset >= preloaded.length-1) ? 0 : curOffset + 1;
                }, 10000);
        };
</script>

In the head tag.

In the body tag:

HTML Code:

---

<a id="randLink" href="#"><img src="" border="0" id="randImage"></a></div>
<div id="randText">
</div>
