Banner Advertising

[prcollin]

Also is there a place you can direct me to get a decent banner advertising script.  I want a script that rotates banner advertisements so that I can have a banner advertising on my website.  I am so used to creating strict html sites that i know nothing of php and I usually use JOOMLA lol the noobie cms.  Finally dipping my feet into doing my own programming.

 

 

Thanks for being patient

If you have a decent number of similar sized banners, you could place them in a database and use php to pull one out at random everytime the page is loaded or refreshed.

That would be great is there a simple code for that.

 

If I upload multiple .php files to my web domain and they all have includes statements for eachother will hte all work simultaneously.

or you could do somin like:

 

$h= 0;
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM images");
while($array = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
  $images[$h] = $array[name];
  $h++;
}
$num = rand(0,$h);
echo("<img src=\"images/$images[$num]\" />");

 

That should work

alternativly you could do this...

 

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * 
FROM `banners` 
WHERE `id` = RAND() 
LIMIT 1;");
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
    echo($data[0]);
}

like i said i am a dummy so the 'banners' would be the database they are all stored in right or no?
