URL Rotator
I have a site I'm trying to rotate a link between 4 urls. I would like it to rotate through the list each time it is clicked so basically once it is clicked the next time it will go to a different url but in the same order every time. Anyone know how I can do this? I tried using LJscripts URL Rotator but I couldnt figure out how to set it up. Please let me know if this is possible and how to do so if it is. I appreciate all the help.

could you tell me how I could learn how to do that? I'm not familiar with php at all....I was able to find something that is enabling me to rotate images every time the page is refreshed but I would like it to rotate each time it is clicked no matter who is visiting the page. So if one person visited the page it would go to a specific link and then if someone else visited that same page it would have rotated so that person would be visiting the next link in the rotation. The place i found to have it rotate every time the page is refreshed was at. http://alistapart.com/articles/randomizer/ ...maybe I can edit that code somehow to make it work the way I want it I just dont know much about coding.

This is what I'm currently using but all it does is randomly rotate images every time I refresh the page. I would like it to rotate every time it is clicked and stay that way until the next time it is clicked no matter what visitor i have to the site.Code: Select all
/*
Set $folder to the full path to the location of your images.
For example: $folder = '/user/me/example.com/images/';
If the rotate.php file will be in the same folder as your
images then you should leave it set to $folder = '.';
*/
$folder = '.';
/*
Most users can safely ignore this part. If you're a programmer,
keep reading, if not, you're done. Go get some coffee.
If you'd like to enable additional image types other than
gif, jpg, and png, add a duplicate line to the section below
for the new image type.
Add the new file-type, single-quoted, inside brackets.
Add the mime-type to be sent to the browser, also single-quoted,
after the equal sign.
For example:
PDF Files:
$extList['pdf'] = 'application/pdf';
CSS Files:
$extList['css'] = 'text/css';
You can even serve up random HTML files:
$extList['html'] = 'text/html';
$extList['htm'] = 'text/html';
Just be sure your mime-type definition is correct!
*/
$extList = array();
$extList['gif'] = 'image/gif';
$extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpeg';
$extList['jpeg'] = 'image/jpeg';
$extList['png'] = 'image/png';
// You don't need to edit anything after this point.
// --------------------- END CONFIGURATION -----------------------
$img = null;
if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') {
$folder = $folder.'/';
}
if (isset($_GET['img'])) {
$imageInfo = pathinfo($_GET['img']);
if (
isset( $extList[ strtolower( $imageInfo['extension'] ) ] ) &&
file_exists( $folder.$imageInfo['basename'] )
) {
$img = $folder.$imageInfo['basename'];
}
} else {
$fileList = array();
$handle = opendir($folder);
while ( false !== ( $file = readdir($handle) ) ) {
$file_info = pathinfo($file);
if (
isset( $extList[ strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ) ] )
) {
$fileList[] = $file;
}
}
closedir($handle);
if (count($fileList) > 0) {
$imageNumber = time() % count($fileList);
$img = $folder.$fileList[$imageNumber];
}
}
if ($img!=null) {
$imageInfo = pathinfo($img);
$contentType = 'Content-type: '.$extList[ $imageInfo['extension'] ];
header ($contentType);
readfile($img);
} else {
if ( function_exists('imagecreate') ) {
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate (100, 100)
or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);
imagestring ($im, 2, 5, 5, "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color);
imagepng ($im);
imagedestroy($im);
}
}
