Hi,

I have a simple ad rotation script that displays a different ad upon a page refresh. The ads are coming from a text file where the actual is just a bit of very simple html code. The PHP code is below.

What I would like to do is refrssh the ad every few seconds. Any ideas how I do this in PHP?

PHP:

$file = join ('', file ('../../inc/banners2.txt'));	
	$ad = split("~",$file);
	$bannerid = rand(0,(count($ad)-1));
	echo $ad[$banner_id];

Thanks

couldn't I use:

PHP:

header('Refresh:3 ; URL=index.php');

To refresh the entire page, yes.. but why would you want to do that? Do you want people to be able to use your site at all?

Was thinking I could use that some how via an ajax call to refresh just the ad box.....

Asynchronous
