php modification for a page

[HipHopFranco]

I got this part of php code I wanna incorporate in a .php file...it selects a random image:

<?php

global $value;

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$value = rand(0,1);

if($value==0){
$img="http://hiphopfranco.rapidenet.ca/sponsors/sponsor1.gif";
}
if($value==1){
$img="http://hiphopfranco.rapidenet.ca/sponsors/sponsor2.gif";
}

?>

and, lower

<a href="blop.html" target="_blank"><img src=<? echo($img); ?> width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>

I'm just trying to figure out where I should put this because the whole thing is ran by templates...

I'd put it in global.php

[Xenon]

phpinclude_start (template) would be better

[Sylvus]

Hi Xenon! I just looked under my vB2 and I do not have a phpinclude_start template. Is this something that needs to be added manually or perhaps it was accidently removed? I hope by not having this phpinclude_start template in my vB2 forum does not cause any serious problems or issues with the database!

[Xenon]

in vb2 it's called just phpinclude :)

I tried to put the top part in the "phpinclude" template:

global $value;

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$value = rand(0,1);

if($value==0){
$img="http://hiphopfranco.rapidenet.ca/sponsors/sponsor1.gif";
}
if($value==1){
$img="http://hiphopfranco.rapidenet.ca/sponsors/sponsor2.gif";
}


And I tried to put the other part in the "forumdisplay" template (I wanna put the image in the "forumdisplay template"):

<a href="blop.html" target="_blank"><img src=<? echo($img); ?> width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>


But it doesn't work. Sombody knows the problem? :(

[Xenon]

change
<a href="blop.html" target="_blank"><img src=<? echo($img); ?> width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>

into
<a href="blop.html" target="_blank"><img src="$img" /> width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>

that should work
