How hard is it to rotate header images?

Hello. I'm working on building a website and I've found several nice header backgrounds for my website "Explore the US". I would like to set up the page so that every time it loads, it randomly selects one of the backgrounds.

How much code would be needed? I cant imagine that it would take more than a few lines.

 

I found what I needed here:

Yeah just a few lines of javascript would do the trick

 

I've been using this php script for a while now, seems to do the job just fine...

its an easy hack in Vbulletin

 

<?php
$bgr = rand(1,4);
?>
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/background/<?php print $bgr; ?>.jpg">

PHP:

Nice and simple to get you started.

 

It can also be done easily in PHP, This will rotate your banner and not randomly display one. To add more than 3 images just add more $Images[] = 'Banner4.xxx'; etc.

I agree - javascript is easiest, though you may also want to consider a banner rotator (ie a php script) if you wanted the headers to link to different pages on click

 

Javascript may be the easiest, but if you're like me, I usually 98% of the time have it disabled in my Firefox options.

 

.js disabled ? I hear this more and more.

is there a php script to write some lines of html..?

basically, I have a external js write about 10 lines of html, header, image and css menu link for SEO..

how can that be done with php..?

 

Lukas - I'd say use the example I did above.
