Create a Rotating Banner

[sgl0ss]

I'm trying to create a banner that rotates everytime the page is refreshed. Is it possible to achieve this without using javascript or flash??? How??? Thanks

Your going to need something to make it rotate... CSS isn't goiing to do it. You could use an animated .gif but that would rotate all the time. Not sure what else you could do.

Not sure if this will help - I found this little snippit a few months back
which I used on a php page:

img src="ImagesFolder/ImageName{"1"|mt_rand:3}.jpg"

The catch is all images have to be named the same thing, with a different
number on the end, eg: flower1.jpg, flower2.jpg, flower3.jpg

The breakdown is:
? Change "ImagesFolder" to the name of the folder your images are in
? Change "ImageName" to the name of the image - "flower" with no numbers
? The 3 is how many images you want it to rotate between. As far as I know
this can be as many as you want. What it will do is randomly select any number
between 1 and 3 and stick in between the { } so you'll end up with flower2.jpg
- each time the page is refreshed, a new image is loaded. Only downside is it
doesn't have any sort of memory as to the last loaded image, so it's possible
to reload a few times and get the same image each time. I guess the more images
you have for it to choose from, the less likely that'll be.

Let me know if you get stuck. As I said it worked for me on a php page so not
sure if it will work in other languages.

If you're using PHP/MySQL database to store your banners, you can select them
at random, and the banner displayed will be refreshed every time (in a random
order). To do this, just create a record set of your banner, and ORDER BY RAND
() LIMIT 1
