ah okay, well sorry I was late then.

Happy though you found something that works

no problem

and thanks Drachewyn.

I would have to say that PHPAdsNew is definetly worth it. It's free and is the best ad management app i've ever seen. It uses a mysql db, but it's fast and powerful.

If you have perl and can use MySQL then www.adcycle.com is definately worth a look.

Here's a question for thought. Has anyone ever used a java pop-up rotation for a banner rotation? What would be goods and bads to that? Do you think something like that would work? Or just be a nuisance to the surfer? I really don't like "on load" pop-ups, and I haven't used.......I was really hoping someone had tried it and would let us know the results.

Here's an example:
< head >
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--begin
var url=new Array(5);
url[0]=['http://yoursite.com/banner1.gif','468','60'];
url[1]=['http://yoursite.com/banner2.gif','468','60'];
url[2]=['http://yoursite.com/banner3.gif','468','60'];
url[3]=['http://yoursite.com/banner4.gif','468','60'];
url[4]=['http://yoursite.com/banner5.gif','468','60'];
function showPopup(){
var allcookies=document.cookie;
var pos=allcookies.indexOf('popup=');
if(pos!=-1){
var start=pos+6;
var end=allcookies.indexOf(';',start);
if(end==-1)end=allcookies.length;
var i=allcookies.substring(start,end);
if(i==url.length-1)popup(0);
else popup(++i);
}
else popup(0);
}

function popup(i){
var popup=window.open(url[i][0],'','height='+url[i][1]+',width='+url[i][2]+',top=0,left=0,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=n o,scrollbars=no,status=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no,d irectories=no');
setcookie(i);
}

function setcookie(i){
var nextyear=new Date();
nextyear.setFullYear(nextyear.getFullYear()+1);
document.cookie='popup='+i+';expires='+nextyear.to GMTString();
}

// end -->
</SCRIPT>

< body >
onLoad="showPopup();"

Dmo : i was using a javascript banner rotation script. it is good. i had configured it to cycle the banners every 60/90 seconds.
the problem with that is each time you want to add/remove banners you have modify the script and then upload it again.

timeconsuming.

but with phpadsnew : it is all browser based. no need to upload/download scripts.

i shall put up js script here so that people can have a look at it.


alicia : adcycle is good. but i did not know how to use it without changing my html pages.
now i am using phpadsnew/ and it is implemented in the main page itself. i did not have to change from .htm to .phtml /php/

but that is no t the case with cgi..

so left that.

but anyway thanks for th e info

hey, i have one that is easy to use....wanna try?

this is what i used to have.


<!--
function adArray() {
for (i=0; i*2<adArray.arguments.length; i++) {
this[i] = new Object();
this[i].src = adArray.arguments[i*2];
this[i].href = adArray.arguments[i*2+1];
}
this.length = i;
}
function getAdNum() {
dat = new Date();
dat = (dat.getTime()+"").charAt(8);
if (dat.length == 1)
ad_num = dat%ads.length;
else
ad_num = 0;
return ad_num;
}

// ****** YOU NEED NOT MODIFY ANYTHING THAT IS NOT IN BETWEEN THESE TWO COMMENTS ****

var ads = new adArray("image.gif","link.html","image2.gif",link2 .html");

var ad_num = getAdNum(); // don't change this line

document.write('<CENTER><A HREF="'+ads[ad_num].href+'"><IMG SRC="'+ads[ad_num].src+'" '
+'HEIGHT=60 WIDTH=468 BORDER=0 name=js_ad></A> </CENTER>');

// ****** YOU NEED NOT MODIFY ANYTHING THAT IS NOT IN BETWEEN THESE TWO COMMENTS ****

link_num = document.links.length-1;

function rotateSponsor() {
if (document.images) {
ad_num = (ad_num+1)%ads.length;
document.js_ad.src = ads[ad_num].src;
document.links[link_num].href = ads[ad_num].href;
setTimeout("rotateSponsor()",120000);
}
}
setTimeout("rotateSponsor()",120000);

// -->

set to rotate every 2 mts.
