hmm everything what is more complicated then html is a difficult for me
if my idea isn't possible in php my second idea is to make pics1.txt, pics2.txt and pics3.txt and divide all pictures
but that way pictures from pics3.txt will never exist in a line one

btw i hava also exact same problem with llinks with descriptions which are among pictures

Greetingz...

I've gotten the following code to work...

Basically put it into showads.php and include('showads.php') where you need the pics to show.

PHP Code:

<?php



  // Check if already assigned

  if (!isset($DoneImages))

  {

    $DoneImages = array();

  }



  $ile  = 5;

  $file = file("pics.txt");



  echo '<table width="600"><tr>';

  echo "\n";



  srand((double)microtime()*1000000);



  for($i=0; $i<$ile; $i++)

  {

    // Pic Random Numbers that arn't in $DoneImages

    do

    {

      $Pic = Rand(0, Count($file) - 1);  // Had to add -1 so that there would always be $ile per row...

    }while (in_array($Pic, $DoneImages));

    

    // Add currently selected random pic to $DoneImage

    $DoneImages[] = $Pic;



    $sp = explode('||', $file[$Pic]);

    if($sp[0] != '')

    {

      echo '<td align=middle>';

      echo "\n";



      echo '<a href="'.$sp[2].'"><img src="'.$sp[0].'" border=3></a><br>';

      echo "\n";



      echo '<font style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 11px; font-family: Tahoma">'.$sp[1].'<br></font>';

      echo "\n";



      echo '</td>';

      echo "\n";

    }

  }



  echo '</tr></table>';

  echo "\n";

?>

Hope this help....

I have some nicer code...

It randomly loads from the file, but only takes one entry once.

This is the file it reads from:

Code:

http://www.corephp.org|/links/corephp_01.png|Core PHP.org
http://www.yoursite.net|/links/corephp_02.png|Core PHP.org
http://www.yoursite.com|/links/corephp_03.png|Core PHP.org
http://www.yoursite.net|/links/corephp_04.png|Core PHP.org
http://www.yoursite.com|/links/corephp_05.png|Core PHP.org
http://www.yoursite.net|/links/corephp_06.png|Core PHP.org

and this is the code:

Code:

<?php

# Read the text file and split it into lines:
$file = file_get_contents("./links.txt");
$line = split("\n", $file);

# Init some vars:
$keys = array();

# Make a random list of numbers with
# no duplicates and display the info
# from the text file:
while (count($keys) <= 1) {
	$rand = rand(0, count($line) - 1);
	if (!in_array($rand, $keys)) {
		# Add the key to the $key var:
		$keys[] = $rand;
		
		# Split the text, then display it:
		$text = split("\|", $line[$rand]);
		print "<a href=\"$text[0]\"><img alt=\"$text[2]\" src=\"$text[1]\" border=\"0\"></a><br />";
	}
}

?>

Good luck, hope mine works for you.

thx guys for your big help

The Wolf-somehow it doesn;t work for me. It can be a problem with me because almost everyhing what i can do with php is copy paste but thx again


ChristGuy - thank you very much it's probably i've been looking for
, anyway it works , nothing doubled .
could you do same think with my links.txt?

PHP Code:

<?

//start of the script

$ile = 25;

$file = file("links.txt");

for($i=0;$i<$ile;$i++)

{

    srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

    $link = $file[array_rand($file)];

    $sp = explode("||", $link);

    if($sp[0]<>"")

    {

        echo "".$sp[0]." <a href=\"".$sp[1]."\">".$sp[2]."</a><br>";

    }

}

//end of the script

?>

btw.
i use notpad to write txt file but too much infos fot it.
can i use wordpad to create txt.
does lenght of txt file wit all links make a visible difference in loading of the page?

thx
doogi

[The Wolf]

Damn, ok. at least you got it working, the length of the txt file would make a small diff, but only very small...

[ChristGuy]

Greetinz...

try the following..

PHP Code:

<?

  if (!isset($DoneImages))

  {

    $DoneImages = array();

  }



  //start of the script

  $ile = 25;

  $file = file("links.txt");



  for($i=0;$i<$ile;$i++)

  {

    srand((double)microtime()*1000000);



    do

    {

      $Pic = rand(0, Count($file) - 1);

    } while (in_array($Pic, $DoneImages));



    $DoneImage[] = $Pics;



    $sp = explode("||", $file[$Pic]);



    if($sp[0]<>"")

    {

      echo "".$sp[0]." <a href=\"".$sp[1]."\">".$sp[2]."</a><br>";

    }

  }

  //end of the script

?>

Glad it worked....

About editing text files... you can use Wordpad... Just save as text..

BTW.. I use EditPad Lite http://www.editpadlite.com/

Kinda like notepad on steroids....

[JohnnyDoomo]

Hello,

I found this thread through Google. Can somebody please help me change this code so that it works with text links? Similar to the thread owner, I do not want any link to be duplicated.

I do not really know any php or how the links and their clickable text should be organized in the text file.

Can somebody please help me edit this code so that it will work for a list of 25 or so random links?

I would appreciate any help coders can provide. Thanks!
