[Tutorial] Make a basic image/ad rotator

Patriotfan · 07-25-2008, 06:41 PM

First, open up Notepad or any other text editor
Type in

Code:

<?php
$img = array();

echo $img[$count];
?>

Next is the fun part. Place the following code in between the above code

Code:

$img[] = '<img src=""  />';
$img[] = '<img src="" />';
$img[] = '<img src="" />';

You add the image links in the "" so a example would be <img src="http://image.com/image.png"
Now the final part of code. Put it after what you just did

Code:

$max = count($img) - 1;
$count = rand(0,$max);

So now the full code would be like this

Code:

<?php
$img = array();

$img[] = '<img src="" />';
$img[] = '<img src="" />';
$img[] = '<img src="" />';

$max = count($img) - 1;
$count = rand(0,$max);

echo $img[$count];
?>

Now Enjoy your image rotator
**Note**Save as .php

You can see a example one

So.. if I were a total newbie here..
What does count do? And what does rand do?

This is actually a walk-through, but good job with it anyways!

The Count eats chocolately cereal, and Rand is searching for the heart of the world, because he's the Dragon Reborn and doesn't know it yet. Points to anybody who recognizes that reference.
