How to change position on each page load(?)

Recommended Posts

Hi all,
I'm using a file hosting script and when someone goes to the download page to download a file
there's a countdown timer.So when then counter goes to zero,the following code is used
to display a button and give access to the file:
[code]
<?php


if($downloadtimer == 0) {

echo "<input type=submit value=\"Download it\" onClick=\"".$scripturl. "download2.php?a=" . $filecrc . "&b=" . md5($foundfile[2].$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])."\">";
} else { ?>
If you're seeing this message, you need to enable JavaScript

<?php } ?> [/code]
I have already tried [code]style=\"position:relative;top:$top;left:$left;\" [/code] + [code]$top = rand(0,100);
$left = rand(0,100); [/code] but it's not working.

So is there any way to change the position of the "download button" using php?

thanks!

ps.I can post the whole script code if it's necessary.

You could also use the following:
[code]
<style>
.test{
position:absolute;
left:<?php echo rand(0,100); ?>px;
top:<?php echo rand(0,100); ?>px;
}
//put this with your earlier styles, and make sure that you haven't used the word test to define any classes
</style>

...

<?php echo "<div class=\"test\"><input type=submit value=\"Download it\" onClick=\"".$scripturl. "download2.php?a=" . $filecrc . "&b=" . md5($foundfile[2].$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])."\"></div>";
?>
[/code]
Just the way you had it in your PHP tag, plus the required <div>

Ok,I changed the code to this:
[code]
<?php
$top = rand(1,300);
$left = rand(5,100);

if($downloadtimer == 0) {

echo "<div style=position:absolute; top:$top; left:$left;><input type=submit value=\"Download It\" onClick=\"".$scripturl. "download2.php?a=" . $filecrc . "&b=" . md5($foundfile[2].$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])."\"></div>";
} else { ?>
If you're seeing this message, you need to enable JavaScript

<?php } ?>[/code]
I'm not getting any errors,but when the counter goes to zero the button stays on the same place.
Any ideas?

I did some tests
Summary:

After your help I changed the code to this:
[code]<?php
$top = rand(1,100);
$left = rand(1,100);

echo "<div style=position:absolute; top:$top; left:$left;>";
?>

<?php

if($downloadtimer == 0) {

echo "<input type=submit value=\"Download It\" onClick=\"".$scripturl. "download2.php?a=" . $filecrc . "&b=" . md5($foundfile[2].$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])."\">";
} else { ?>
If you're seeing this message, you need to enable JavaScript

<?php } ?>
</div>[/code]

And now instead of the counter I get this message: "If you're seeing this message, you need to enable JavaScript".

mgallforever: $downloadtimer  is defined in a config file.I have set it to 5 seconds.
