Here is our random banner:<br />
<?php require("random_baner.php"); ?>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Inside 'random_baner.php':


<?php

// Basic Random Banner Generator By Sk8rRIMuk - 18/08/2003

$quotes=array(

mt_srand(time());

$random_index=(mt_rand(1,(count($quotes)))-1);

print($quotes[$random_index]);

In the directory I have all the required pictures.

I have a script called bannerarray.php. It contains the following code:




<?php

//Script to store banners in an array

$banners=array('BANNERCAT1BAN1.jpg','BANNERCAT1BAN2.jpg','BANNERCAT1BAN3.jpg');

mt_srand(time());

$random_index=(mt_rand(1,(count($banners)))-1);

print("<img src = "$banners[$random_index]">");

?>




<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Random Banner Page</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<?php

require("bannerarray.php");

?>



</BODY>

</HTML>

if I execute the .php file, it works perfectly. If I open the html file, nothing is displayed. Just a blank page. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I have two files:

First a php script called bannerarray.php:




<?php

//Script to store banners in an array

$banners=array('BANNERCAT1BAN1.jpg','BANNERCAT1BAN2.jpg','BANNERCAT1BAN3.jpg');

mt_srand(time());

$random_index=(mt_rand(1,(count($banners)))-1);

print("<img src = "".$banners[$random_index]."">");

?>




<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Random Banner Page</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<?php

require("localhost/bannerarray.php");

print("<img src = "".$banners[$random_index]."">");

?>



</BODY>

</HTML>

If I just execute the php filefrom the browser, everything works great. If I open the html file, it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi Donnie,

Make sure the (html) page calling the script is set to parse for PHP. You might need to give it a php, phtml, php3 extension or have your host parse the html page for php.

OK, I have finished the basic assignment 4. I have two files; The first one assigns image files to to an array then randomly selects one. The second calls the first script then displays the randomly selected image.

First File




<?php

//Script to store banners in an array

//First, put the banners in an array

$banners = array('BANNERCAT1BAN1.jpg','BANNERCAT1BAN2.jpg','BANNERCAT1BAN3.jpg');

//Select a random banner

mt_srand(time());

$random_index = (mt_rand(1,(count($banners)))-1);

?>




<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Random Banner Page</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<?php

//require the php file to select the random banner

require("phpbasicassignment4bannerarray.php");

//print the banner to the screen

print("<img src = \"".$banners[$random_index]."\">");

?>



</BODY>

</HTML>

BTW - Thanks for fixing the backslash issue!!!!

Working file: http://www.helping-you-make-mo...ndom_banner.php

banners.php - external file that contains the array of banners




<?php



/*This file contains the banners to be used which are stored in the 

following array*/



$banners=array('../468_60_lkwrs_b_anim.gif','../logo.gif',

'../html/logo2.gif','../samples/autorespondermagic/amagic_top.gif',

'../samples/mde/Million_Dollar_Header2.jpg','../wsanswers/banner27.jpg',

'../xfactor/banner.jpg');



?>




<?php



//This file displays a random banner from the array in banners.php



//Indicates where the external file containing the banners is

require("banners.php");



//Seed the random generator

mt_srand(time());



/*Calculates a random number between 1 and the number of banners in the 

array $banners and one is subtracted because arrays start at zero. 

(count($banners)) is used so that banners may be added or removed from 

the external file without this script having to be changed*/

$random_banner=(mt_rand(1,(count($banners)))-1);



/*Display the resulting banner using the variable $random_banner as the 

index for the $banners array*/

print("<img src=\"$banners[$random_banner]\">");



?>

The fine containing the banners array (called banners.php), contains this code:


<? 

//create an array of banners to rotate. i have 11. 

$banners = array("i_think.gif", 

"i_hope.gif", 

"like_learn.gif",

"font_pollock.gif", 

"bumble_bee.gif", 

"bright_green.gif", 

"fast_red.gif",

"kinda_fun.gif", 

"how_challenge.gif",

"great_grey.gif", 

"like_learn.gif",    

"dark_colour.gif"); 

?>


  

<?

//lets call in that banners array, eh. we always need it, so i think require is called for?

{ 

require("/home/virtual/site420/fst/var/www/html/scripts/banners.php");

} 



//and now lets randomise their display.

mt_srand(time());

$random_index = (mt_rand(1, (count($banners))) - 1);

$displaybanner = $banners[$random_index];



//And lets print it out.

print("<img src=\"http://sassy.togetherhost.com/scripts/images/$displaybanner\" alt=\"banner\" />");

?>

A working copy (I think) of the script can be found <a href="http://sassy.togetherhost.com/scripts/week4.php">here</a>.

Well, obviously the second set of code is what contains the randomising code, and prints out the random image. I did put that in my first post, between the two sets of code, but I guess it got eaten. And now that I know that the forum doesn't have html enabled, here is the link for my script: http://sassy.togetherhost.com/...ripts/week4.php :)

I got my Script to work but, I know its not perfect. Is there a way to do a count on a multi-dimensional array? How would I use a count in the following code to count the number of elements in the Banner Array?






<html>

<head>

<title>Banner Rotator</title>

</head>



<body>



<?

    $cat1=Array('c1-1','c1-2','c1-3');

    $cat2=Array('c2-1','c2-2','c2-3');

    $cat3=Array('c3-1','c3-2','c3-3');

    $Banner=Array($cat1,$cat2,$cat3);

    

    mt_srand(time());

    

    $percentage = mt_rand(1, 100);

     if ($percentage <=70)

     {

         $index = (mt_rand(1, (count($cat2))) -1 );

        

        printf("Today's category is ". $Banner[1][$index]);    

     }

     else

     {

      $cat = (mt_rand(1, (count($Banner))) -1 );

      $index = (mt_rand(1, (count($cat1))) -1 );

        

      printf("Today's category is ". $Banner[$cat][$index]);

     }

     

?>





</body>

</html>

Thanks in advance,
