I was wondering what the code is you use on the absolute sites to get a random banner everytime?

a PHP script, were you get the list of images to show, then choose one at 'random' . Get the rest of the info for that image and insert it into the page.

for the game sites header images, them selves [as there are relatively few]. One holds them in an array, then 'randomly' select an element of the array.

could you post me the code?

the key is to generate a 'random' interger to select an item out of our list.

to do this one can use this:-

mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$random_int = mt_rand($min_value,$max_value);


hope that helps

how do i actually make it know which images to choice from?

$random_int will give a an integer value. This allows you to choose an element of an array of your images.

Say:-

$imgarray = Array('images1.jpg','images2.jpg','images3.jpg','images4.jpg','images5.jpg');

then use the random integer to select:-

echo $imgarray[$random_int];

similar thing with selecting from databases....
