Rotating sig on a normal site

[Irish_Tom]

Lo all

I'm making a basic site using html and I want a picture on the homepage to rotate like the sigs on here. I've tried using rob's guide and I have the .jpeg and .php file in an /images folder but it's just giving me red x's.

I noticed in nikbee's thread when he was having trouble that DJ Binks said this:

Yes, it will generate random code until its in img tags:

could that have something to do with it? being html and not forum code?

Cheers

Can you post your site address? It may point us in the right direction.

It's not live atm, still just an index.html and image folder on my desktop...

Thanks for the speedy reply though

Hi,

<img src="file.php" alt="image name etc" longdesc="image name etc" />

Is how i do it.

  <p><a href="http://www.kings-kingdom.co.uk"><img src="siteimages/index.php" alt="Kings-Kingdom.co.uk" width="750" height="200" border="0" longdesc="http://www.kings-kingdom.co.uk" /></a></p>

Is my current header on www.kings-kingdom.co.uk !

Edit, it needs to be .php extention (both the index file AND the random generator file) then they need to be uploaded to a space that supports php.

Hi Binks, Thanks for the reply

I think the problem is I only have one file. All I have is

<?php

$files = glob('{*.PNG,*.png,*.JPG,*.jpg,*.GIF,*.gif}', GLOB_BRACE);
readfile($files[array_rand($files)]);

?>

called rotate in a .php file and then this

<img src="Images/rotate.php">

in my html code.

It seems I'm missing something, hope you can shed some light on this one

*edit* you say they have to be uploaded to a place that supports php, does this mean that in it's current state as just being in a folder on my desktop, it's not going to work?

cheers

Yes, that is pretty much it. It wont work without it im afraid .

Upload it to some space that supports PHP. Also try renaming the index.html file to index.php if it still doesnt work after that. If you want a hand my MSN is in trust .

Ah right ok thanks Binks.

This has to put on CD and presented to my uni group using the lecturers laptop. It's not really going to be practical unfortunately. Any other way I could text to rotate just using html?

Thanks for all your help!
