[SOLVED] Ad rotator?

[ballhogjoni]

I am trying to develop a simple script that will rotate little ads. Not looking to rotate images but little bits of html files. Does anybody have any idea how to start and then is there a function that pulls random code from html files? Thank in advance

put all your html files as includes in a folder and label them in an array style and then explain how you want to rotate.

You could do a mysql table that says how many times each ad has been viewed and auto loads the least viewed ad. or you could say select a random ad or you could say select random, but show least shown more often or show paid more more often

Simplest form:

 

<?php

$ads = array("<a href=\"http://www.google.co.uk\">Free search engine!</a>", "<a href=\"http://www.phpfreaks.com\">PHP help!</a>");

$rand = array_rand($ads);

$advert = $ads[$rand];

echo $advert;

?>
