Hi there,

am not PHP expert, but have created banner rotation script using ASP.. well.. i assume the logic is always same..

the question is do you need to show those banners in random order or u need to show them in sequence?

kindly follow the steps below and it should work fine..

1st step design / re-design your table structure as below..

id | fldPath | fldDetails | fldWidth | fldHeight | fldxyz

make sure the (id) is of numeric datatype as well as autonumber is set to be true..

2nd step..

write a simple function to generate numbers based on the total records found in your table..

let say, you have a total of 5 banner details in your database, make sure the random number generated must be within 1 and 5.. hope you get what i mean..

3rd step..
let assume, number 3 is generated by your random number function.. run SQL query to pick banner details whose (id) is 3 as well..

function to generate random number..

function randInt(min,max)
{
     var div = (max - min) + 1
     var randNum = Math.random()
     for (var i = 0; i <= div - 1; i++)
     {
          if (randNum >= i / div && randNum < (i+1) / div)
          {return i + min}
     }
}
var abc = randInt(1,5);
 

show the banner using javascript based on randomly generated number..

if (abc == 1) {
     document.write("<\"Your 1. HTML-Banner-Code\">");
}
