    this is a simple one:

    
<?php
$a="<a href='link'><img src='image.jpg' align='center'></a>";
$b="<a href='link2'><img src='image2.jpg' align='center'></a>";

srand( microtime() * 1000000);
$var = rand(1,2);
switch($var){

case 1: $ads=$a;
	break;
case 2: $ads=$b;
	break;
            }
echo $ads;
    Code (markup):
    to put adsense in the above change the " into '

    For the .Net version

    code:
    <asp:AdRotator ID="AdRotator1" runat="server" AdvertisementFile="ad.xml" />

    ad.xml file:
    <Advertisements>
    <Ad>
    <ImageUrl>site1img1.jpg</ImageUrl>
    <NavigateUrl>http://www.site1.com</NavigateUrl>
    <Impressions>50</Impressions>
    </Ad>
    <Ad>
    <ImageUrl>site2img2.jpg</ImageUrl>
    <NavigateUrl>http://www.site2.com</NavigateUrl>
    <Impressions>75</Impressions>
    </Ad>
    </Advertisements>

    Impressions is the relative weightings so in this example ad2 would be shown 1.5 times more often

    In the original post you say you don't want JavaScript, but now you say you'll settle for JavaScript? Which one is it? What language is running your website? HTML, PHP, Perl...?

    html and php, and i changed my mind because originally i didt want js as a lot of people have it disabled, however now i realise that adsense actually uses js so it doesnt really matter

    Basically you want to set the $a and $b variables to be the actual code you want to be displayed. In this case he simply has links, but you can change this to AdSense or whatever code you want.

    You need to place that code inside of the variable, but be sure to escape the ". If you're not sure how to do that then search Google. ;)

    the code simply selects a random ad and by chance when u refreshed it selected the same ad again

    try refreshing it more. it is based on a probability and if u refresh 100 times and record ur observations then it will come to around 50-50 each..

    it is NOT EXACT 50%

    ------------

    also i think u forgot to close the php at the end .. place this ?>

    MAJOR MISTAKE IN YOUR CODE:

    you have to escape your quotes.

    ex: I want to take <font color="blue"> and put that into a javascript string.
    I would make it into:
    $a="<font color='blue'>";
    so I would take my double quotes and make them into single quotes.

    i do not think ur code will work because javascript will take ' and " differently.

    in the above code that i have posted i have rectified the error because php takes " and ' same

    I was looking in the wrong area- my bad

    instead of replacing quotes with ' try /" and it should escape them. it might be \" though, I can't remember which way is which. pretty sure it's the right one.
