21 Set Border To 0

On the examples in Mozilla and Firefox I see the nasty default border showing in the examples. Did someone just forget or do you not have control over that?

23 plain .ini? xml? DB?

I wonder why you promote this solution with a plain .ini file since PHP ships with a pretty powerful XML toolkit. Why having such a handwritten parser? I support ‘XML is the way to go’.

Even more I would recommend to implement this script with a database driven system if you want to rotate a larger number of images: As you say most of webhosters support PHP these days they also offer some kind of database like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL…

24 Fine, but a year too late?

I did actually post an update to your original article a year ago, allowing random html rather than random images. This solved the problems of not having alt tags – you could essentially put in any random markup you wanted. I can’t really see why you’d want or need anything more complicated?

Rgds,
Jake.

25 re: .Net Adrotator

True Brant but not only would you have to know about OO but you’d also have to run .NET which would be a shame

27 Classy

It strikes me that with a bit of manipulation of DHTML and PHP the design opportunities for this are endless. There is no reason why XML or MySQL (or any other database for that matter)couldn’t be used as alternatives to the .ini file method. If the site uses a database, use that. The chances are that in a dynamic server side scripted site that uses database connections, these will be open on most if not all pages. If so, the extra load on the server will be negligible when compared to the advantages of building rotator inputs to a content management system so that additional images/content/pullquotes etc, can be added by non-technical users.

Personally, I will be wrapping up the functionality here in a couple of generic classes that can be added to my PHP development library and called upon when needed. When I have, I’ll drop a post here if Mr Z has no objection.

28 Can this be called in CSS?

Hi there,

In the older version I was ablr to call the script via CSS. Can this be done with this version?

Thanks

Hmm..

When I refresh the pages with the images, only the same images keep showing up again and again and again..
