Embedding random ads / rotation

I have two <scripts> for embedding ads, one for Google adsense and the other for Amazon associates. Instead of embedding the two ads separately on a single page, is it possible to randomly alternate between these two ads (which are of the same size) so that they don't have to be embedded on two different places on the page?

You will need to create a plugin to do this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$rand = rand();

if ($rand % 2)
{
    $ad = 'SOME CODE';
}
else
{
    $ad = 'SOME OTHER CODE';
}

How do I apply that at a specific part of my template, ie. at the location where I want my ads?

Where you place the variable $ad in your template is where it would display.
