Ok, the cookie thing would be ok, (#2) but what about when the block cookies? does it just randomly pick a new banner each reload? Also, how does #3 work? I mean, it looks like it may need to make a new file for each and every visitor, or that every visitor shares the same file?
Also, I can't tell from your code where you put the code to say
what to display "Banner 2 gets displayed this time" etc...
might it be something like this? :
if($banner== 1) { ?>

A description of above site.
if($banner== 2) { ?>

A description of above site.
if($banner== 3) { ?>

A description of above site.
and where would this be placed?
Personally, I was thinking of a pre-set list of sites, with the first one being randomly picked (which I think does not need cookies, thus less searching and loading?), along with links for "Previous" and "Next" to go along the given list.... also, as a new thought, I'll also need a link that will pointAlso, the thing is that , for people to be able to put this onto their HTM pages, this is going to be a seperate page, so people can have an iframe code. I'm going to have a button link within the iframe'd page to reload itself... that or I was going make a link for "next" in the list. How would I make a "next" link in PhP for this banner array?
I mean with that in mind I could do it with a bunch of HTM pages and code, but I'm sure it would take a much longer loading time and a ton of extra space and code.... to what would certianly be a something horrifically archaic to the both of you.
ok, here, this I was just thinking about doing:

The "<<" and ">>" would be linking to "Previous" and "Next" on the given list.
Inbetween that would be static text and/or a custom Xepher.net image with some sort of moto or such like I have listed there.
Under that would be where the banner and description would be. The banner will carry the link to that site.
under that is my new idea and "Link1", "Link2", "Link3", and "Link4" would point to different list sets (either as a different page altogether or just a different TEXT LIST (which I think is what you were talking about). The lists would be like what is one Xepher.net.... one link for "Art", one for "Comics", one for "Fiction", and one for "Others"... and if they click on "Comics" while already on the comics list, it could just pick something from the list at random.
ok, I hope that is descriptive enough, and not too complicated. Those multiple link sets are the new idea, so that is an extra thought.
Also, I greatly thank everyone for their help with this! I don't mean to look all needy/difficult because I can't do this myself : When I can piece everything together (including either snatching or creating banners for all sites here). I'll post it. I think this could be a really cool addition for those that would like to pimp other xepher sites in an interactive way.
Unless I'm making this more complicated than it needs too be
