Best ad rotator script?

I have seen many scripts that rotate a banner in one place, but I am looking for something that will rotate several banners each time the page is refreshed.

Example: I have a column with 8 ads displaying. Each time the page loads, those 8 ads will be in a different order.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

 

you could do that with a very simple php script.

if you want a packaged deal, phpadsnew seems to be popular.

php code if you want:

<?
$ad[0] = "your ad code here";
$ad[1] = "your ad code here for ad #2";
$ad[2] = "your ad code here for ad #3";
// continue to $ad[8]. or higher if you desire. 
shuffle($ad);
foreach ($ad as $adcode)
{
echo $adcode;
}
?>

Thanks for your response. I have tried the following and only text appears.

 

phpadsnew is the best free banner management script i know off

Maybe you should take a look at that.

phpadsnew has a fairly hefty cost in terms of setup time and processor overhead compared with that cool script disgust posted... disgust's processor will only work in php pages, though! (as in, a page ending with .php) where phpadsnew etc. will work in ANY place.

Lots of lousy software in this arena.

 

phpAdsnew For me always.

 

I really wanst looking for something that complex. Just a small script that will rotate the images upon page load.

 

Actually it comes standard with many hosting packages.
Just 1-click and it is installed. After that you just have to paste the php code into your pages.
So unless you have a few hundred pages where the code must be on, it is really a snap to install this.

you would want to have

$ad[0] = '<a href="http://www.site.com/"><img src=http://www.yoursite.com/ad.jpg></a>;

or something similar.

or...

<?
$ad[0] = "../images/ads/sponsor.jpg";
$ad[1] = "../images/ads/myspace.jpg";
$ad[2] = "../images/ads/bom.jpg";
// continue to $ad[8]. or higher if you desire.
shuffle($ad);
foreach ($ad as $adcode)
{
echo '<img src="';
echo $adcode;
echo '">';
}
?>

Great thanks. It is now working perfect. How do I add a line break between the ads? Thanks!

 

is it really that hard to figure out? ;-)

<?
$ad[0] = "../images/ads/sponsor.jpg";
$ad[1] = "../images/ads/myspace.jpg";
$ad[2] = "../images/ads/bom.jpg";
// continue to $ad[8]. or higher if you desire.
shuffle($ad);
foreach ($ad as $adcode)
{
echo '<img src="';
echo $adcode;
echo '"><br>';
}
?>

 

disgust, nice script....

 

that's why everyone should learn php. that seriously took about 8 seconds

 

OK, LOL. I have everything done now except the linking. Can someone make this so id opens a link (when clicked) in a new window? I tried adding the above code with no luck......Thanks in advance!

 

this really shouldn't be that hard

<?
$ad[0] = "../images/ads/bom.jpg";
$ad[1] = "../images/ads/myspace.jpg";
// continue to $ad[8]. or higher if you desire.
shuffle($ad);
foreach ($ad as $adcode)
{
echo '<a target="_blank" href="http://www.site.com"><img src="';
echo $adcode;
echo '"></a><br>';
}
?>
