I am geting PMs from people that want diffrent urls to diffrent banners, here is the code

This was tested and it works.

PHP Code:

//?hololith.com(NanoEntity)
$banner1="<a href=\"http://url1\"><img src=\"{ imagesfolder }/adbanners/banner1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a>";
$banner2="<a href=\"http://url2\"><img src=\"{ imagesfolder }/adbanners/banner2.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></a>";

$banners=array($banner1,$banner2); //banner array
$shuffle=$banners[rand(0,count($banners)-1)]; //shuffle banners 
$adbanner="$shuffle\n"; //banners output
//END ?hololith.com(NanoEntity) 


Enjoy.

Instructions on how to add more more banners is outlined in my instructions...

NanoEntity,

I used your script and it worked great. I have about 8 or 9 banner ads running now, and after a few modifications to the header template, I was able to get my header to look just right. Thanks. If anyone wants to see a sample, you can take a look at http://forums.cultfree.org.

Thanks again!

Hey nano i just realised what you did. The original intention of this hack was to just rotate images but i'll change the text file to allow url's

PPN's hack may not work, but mine does

Perhaps you could try and make a size limiter bit to the image
