PHP ad rotation

Hi

Can anyone point me to a nice tutorial on rotating banner ads on my site?
Perhaps using PHP includes? Any other "easy" methods of doing it?

Cheers

 

you have ad rotator with setup tutorial on http://www.phpsimplescripts.com

small, quick and eady

 

The Simplest form of Ad Rotatation using PHP:
Ads will be stored in a text file and picked randomly by PHP script.
The Text file 'banner_ads.txt' will look like:-
--------------------------------
<a href="target path">
<img src="target image"></a>
*
<a href="target path">
<img src="target image"></a>
--------------------------------
where * is used for individualizing banners.
The PHP code will be like:-
--------------------------------
<?php
$content = join ('', file ('banner_ads.txt'));
$s_con = split("*",$content);
$banner_no = rand(0,(count($s_con)-1));
echo $s_con[$banner_no];
?>
--------------------------------
Of course you can use the same procedure for any content to display randomly other than banner ads like 'random quotes' etc.

 

Thanks a lot guys. It seems to be even simpler than I thought.
I'm learning more and more about PHP these days. Using things like includes make designing and updating a site so much easier.
