Ok i have this working script now thanks to a member here:

Quote:
<?
//populate following array with image urls
$images = Array(
"http://www.xninelivesx.com/header_1.jpg",
"http://www.xninelivesx.com/header_2.jpg",
"http://www.xninelivesx.com/header_3.jpg",
"http://www.xninelivesx.com/header_4.jpg",
"http://www.xninelivesx.com/header_5.jpg"
);

$random_image = $images[rand(0,count($images)-1)];

echo "";
?>

that works perfect.. now i need to use it as an include on my forums.. please give me the right code!

thanks,

That post does not have a reply, so the poster is [still?] looking for help making it an include.

nikee,

there is a tutorial about PHP include at W3Schools

basically, you want to save this code as a PHP file, let's say you call it randomimage.php

if it is in the same directory as the page including it on your server, use this code to include it:

<?php include("randomimage.php"); ?>

if it's not in the same directory, you need to put the relative or absolute path to it

The page where you put the include code needs to be a PHP file or you need PHP enabled in HTML (try it first to see if it works already).

That post has NINE replies to it on the day it was posted (July 9, 2008) and the day after.

And this posting from August of the same message has a reply as well:

http://www.webmasters.org/forum/php-forum/1039-php-include-help.html

I just checked one of his other posts, where that question is found on several forums as well, although those are more recent posts) and each posting has different links in the footers....

One of the links in a footer on a post was for a "link building service"....
