    Right well lets say i make about 10 banners for my site.. all with suttle differences.. and when the page loads i want one to load randomly so the user sees a veriaty of the images randomly...

    I know where the image is i want to replace and im assuming i replace that with a script of which contains the images i have..

    If there isnt anything free available then i am willing to pay a resonable ammount. I Have a few features i want to be adding to my site (they are posted on DP) and i need to get these done ASAP.

    cheers people look faward to hearing off you.

    IMPORTANT: When saving as php file in notepad, there must not be even a single character before <? and after ?> otherwise random_mage.php wont work correctly. And may result an error 'Header already sent'.

    open the random_image.php directly and if possible please show me the link I can diagnose myself

    Also "http://www.xninelivesx.com/images/banner.gif", is the last entry which must no have a comma ',' at the end.

    You definitely have left a blank character anywhere either before <?

    or after
    header("Location: $random_image");
    ?>

    Which is resulting function header not being executed and header not being sent ot browser.

    Second cause may be the image url is not valid.

    Lets do it in one script: (include followng in your html page anywhere)
    in this script you do not need to worry about space characters. I was actualy trying ot provide you a more generic way.

    The last version I provided does all the job itself, so there is no need of second script. http://www.xninelivesx.com/random_image.php is sufficient. You can add HTML code to it before <? and after ?> easily in notepad.

    You can use both.
    I have attached a file random_image.php, upload this one without modifying (IMPORTANT upload in BINARY mode not ASCII in your FTP program)

    Then put following code in your html page anywhere you wish to load random image without worrying about space characters or anything
    Besides, try checking in possible browsers like IE, FireFox, Opera, Safari etc.

    I hope you don't pull your hair now :).

    regards

    1) Go to admin control panel
    2) Go to STYLES & TEMPLATES --> Style Manager
    3) Select the desired template, then click the dropdown box then click EDIT TEMPLATES.
    4) Edit the appropraite template. For under the navigation simply click NAVBAR and add the script to the bottom of the code.
