Mist! I would just forget about global.php, why not just insert this code to the phpinclude, it will be easy to mod if you need to add a new banner.

Also why list them as
$banner[1]="banner1.gif";
$banner[2]="newthread.gif";

Why not make an Array.
$banners=array('banner1', 'banner2');

Here is a simple way to do it, only takes 3 lines

PHP Code:

$banners=array('banner1', 'banner2'); //images names
$shuffle=$banners[rand(0,count($banners)-1)]; //shuffle images 
$adbanner="<img src=\"https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/greentek/adbanners/$shuffle.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\">\n"; //images output 


Was that easy

DEMO:
http://artwork.hololith.com/sigs.php - random
http://artwork.hololith.com/sigs.php?show=draco v1 - static
http://artwork.hololith.com/sigs.php?show=magal v1 - static
http://artwork.hololith.com/sigs.php?show=kinght v1 - static

This generates random signature, same way it would a banner ad, but its more advanced when it comes to code, about 13 lines.

The reason i decided to have the variables as an array is to make it easier for newbies to add more banners - simple as that !
