I want to rotate images onLoad but I don't want them to rotate at random. I want the next image to load each time rather then to have the images load at random. My goal is to have people see different images each time they come to our web site. I've noticed that, with the random loading, some images seem to come up often while others are seldom seen. I've found numerous scripts that load images at random but none that load them in order. Is there a way to do this?

You need server side scripting for your goal.

PHP Code:

$max=10;//quantity of images



$fp=fopen ("img.txt", "r");

$n=fread ($fp)+1;

if ($n>$max)

 $n=1;

fclose ($fp);



$fp=fopen ("img.txt", "w");

fwrite ($fp, $n);

fclose ($fp);



print '<img src="pic'.$n.'.gif" />'; 

This script will show images from "pic1.gif" till "pic10.gif", by round.

It is been a while on this thread but I am looking for the same functionality , the php code did not work ,
$max=10;//quantity of images

$fp=fopen ("img.txt", "r");
$n=fread ($fp)+1;
if ($n>$max)
$n=1;
fclose ($fp);

$fp=fopen ("img.txt", "w");
fwrite ($fp, $n);
fclose ($fp);

print '<img src="pic'.$n.'.gif" />';

what does img.txt contain , I am getting the following error "Warning: Wrong parameter count for fread() "

Sorry for mistake. Use:

PHP Code:

$n=fread ($fp, filesize ("img.txt"))+1;

Hi thank you for this script, it worked on my test server that has php 5.2 installed but did not work on the server that I needed to, the php installed PHP Version 4.4.1 allow_call_time_pass_reference is set to Off Off. The script only displays one image which is the first image in sequence. Any suggestion for how to resolve?

Thanks

Actually, you'll need one of the following:
1- A client side script if JavaScript is enabled
2- If JavaScript isn't enabled, a gif or png with multiple images embedded
3- If JavaScript isn't enabled, an iFrame which refreshes at some pre-determined interval
4- Any of the above in combination
5- All except number#2, involves some type of server-side processing in addition.

If this spec: "I want the next image to load each time rather then to have the images load at random. My goal is to have people see different images each time they come to our web site.", is as restrictive as it seems to be, you'll need to explore a more involved solution.

It sounds like you want:
Any user to experience a different image when they visit your site?
All users to experience a different image when they visit your site?
