Random image rotator... php or java?

[brax]

I found random PHP slideshow script... but can't find where PHP can set up an array with n images and one and only one url for each rotatated image...  can PHP do this?  Or am I stuck with Java?  Or what?

 

automated script in html code for image rotate... url link also

 

array has images and url for link

 

automated pulls image and link from array

 

random and non-repeating.... once per page view.

 

Steer this ship.  PHP or Java?  Thanks.

Can be done with php yes.

Thanks... 

 

Ok... PHP it is. 

 

How do you include link to url along with the image... if each image has a different linked url.

 

Isn't this old stuff?  Doesn't anyone have any code on this?

 

Let see what you want and we'll trade.

You'd need an array containing all of the images (I think)

for example:

$images = array(0 => 'myimage.gif', 1 => 'myimage2.gif);

Then have a variable which is set at a random number between 0 and the amount in the variable.

$no = rand(0, count($images));

 

Then call the image like this:

<?php
echo '<img src="' . $images[$no] . '" border="0" width="100" height="100" alt="' . $images[$no] . '" />
?>

 

This was just made up very quickly so might be completly wrong, but it's what I'd try first...

Uh,  yes....?  but, how do you connect a web site or web page to the image that is rotating....

that is the real problem.

 

thanks for you time...

 

I really do appreciate it.
