Code Select Expand

<?php

// Change this to the base URL of the images.
define('WHERE_THEY_ARE', 'http://gbaetc.homeip.net/theme/');

// List the banners here.
$available_banners = array(
   'metroid/selogo.gif',
   'zelda/selogo.gif',
   'xp/selogo.gif',
// Or use a full URL....
   'http://www.yabbse.org/community/YaBBImages/selogo.gif'
);

$image = &$available_banners[rand(0, count($available_banners) - 1)];
if (strpos($image, 'http://') === false)
   $image = WHERE_THEY_ARE . $image;

//echo '<img src="' . urlecnode($image) . '" alt="' . $image . '" />';
echo '<img src="' . urlencode($image) . '" alt="' . htmlspecialchars($image) . '" />';

?>

[unknown] - being that I'm in the midst of banner rotation he** at the moment, I'm curious about something....would that code be included in an existing php file within the forum directory, or should a completely new file be created?  

Thanx in advance,
lilb

i think u're safe to put that in template.php

That was meant to be put in the existing file....

You would use header('Location: ' . urlencode($image)); at the bottom if you wanted it to be seperate.
