I have a folder set up with two images that rotate every time the page

The only problem is that the path to the images and corresponding

It would be quite easy to write a small script that would let you
add/edit the 2 line text file for each rotating banner .

text file 1
images/banner_one.jpg

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi?=make

text file 2
images/banner_two.jpg

http://www.whatever.com/blah.html

On your actual webpage that uses them - its just a matter of generating
a random number in order to display the banner and use the url that
accompanys it .

Assuming you have 10 banners you want to rotate .....

rnd=(10)

Assuming the above picks 4 as the random number .....

file="banners/4.txt";
read line 1
read line 2

<divhref=url image </div>

I suppose you dont really need to write a suitable script in you create
the text files offline and upload & for the most part you would only
really need to generate a random number and read the 2 lines of text to
be used .

Check out fgetcsv(), and possibly fputcsv() if you want to make an
interface to it later.
