Random Image/Banner Rotater


1.) Get some images and put them in a folder called images and then upload them to your webserver.
2.) Open a php editor or notepad/wordpad and type in the php starting tag:

PHP Code:
<?php

3.) Now to set up your images array:

PHP Code:
$images = array
(
1 =>'images/yourfile.png',
2 =>'images/yourfile.png',
3 =>'images/yourfile.png',
4 =>'images/yourfile.png',
5 =>'images/yourfile.png',
6 =>'images/yourfile.png',
7 =>'images/yourfile.png',
8 =>'images/yourfile.png',
9 =>'images/yourfile.png',
0 =>'images/yourfile.png',
);

4.) Now you have to pick a random number:

PHP Code:
$imagecounter = RAND(0, 9);

This picks a random number between 0 and 9.
5.) Now you have to put that number to use and select one of the values out of the array as well as echoing it out:

PHP Code:
echo "<img src=\"" . $images[$imagecounter] . "\">;

6.) End the php tags:

PHP Code:
?>
