geekazoid Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ok, I got a wild man of a script in request here. I know you guys are good at writing scripts but do any of you think you can muster this one ? A script to rotate randomly each day a differant image placed in a "certain folder" on my server.So what would happen is, i put one picture in a .html file and rename it 1. then a put some text in the next .html file and rename it 2, and because i have put both the files (1 and 2) into a folder named, Picfold they would both be randomly seleceted EACH DAY ! so one day it would show text then next day it might show a picture. Yea? I have found lots of random page load scripts but i would like one that randomly changed each day ? Can any one ya wizzards help me out. ? Thanx In advance. And please Explain it as if im thick ( Its not too far from the truth [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/laugh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":laugh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"laugh.gif\" /] [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/huh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":huh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"huh.gif\" /] ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisewood Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Create a mysql (or other) database with a simple table in it, something like thisid - Integer (primary key)day - textmonth - textyear - textfile - textEach time a visitor loads your page, have it query the database table to see if there is an entry for todays day month and year. if there is, display the file specified in the database, otherwise select one at random, and insert the name of it into the database to be found by the next user.

Geekazoid, are you looking for someone to write a script for you, or are you simply looking for help with writing one yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackerkts Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Sorry, but phpfreaks aren't a place where people code for you.You should try to do it yourself, and if you had any difficulty with your code (example you getting error or can't figure out something) then feel free to ask us.
