I have a code that is supplied to me from a sponsor that rotates the galleries in the database with every refresh. I'd like that simple code to rotate only after 24 hours. Anybody have the secret?

<?php
$fileName = "./bobotheclown.txt";
mt_srand( (double) microtime() * 1000000 );
$a = file($fileName);
$randNum = mt_rand( 0, sizeof($a)-1 );
header( "Location: ". $a[$randNum] );
?>

Thanks

Could you give a bit more info on what exactly you want?

Libertine · 02-28-2003, 08:56 PM

BTW, the code you have now is not time-based, and does not rotate the galleries in the "database". The time thing in it is only to seed the "random" function. Right now a random gallery is chosen from the file every time the script is called, there is no "refresh" or "rotation".

HS-Trixxxia · 03-01-2003, 07:15 AM

punkworld,
Exactly, what I'm looking for it to do is rotate every 24 hours not everytime it is called.

In other words, send the surfer to the same gallery for 24 hours to come once he's clicked the link?

Libertine · 03-01-2003, 07:24 AM

I'm in a hurry, so answer quickly if you want the code.

Brujah · 03-01-2003, 07:36 AM

How many galleries are in the file ? If you're only sending once a day, you can go by the day # ( day of month, day of year ).

$fileName = "./bobotheclown.txt";
$a = file($fileName);
#$gal = date("j"); // day of month
#$gal = date("z"); // day of year
header( "Location: ". $a[$gal] );

if you only have around 30 or so then use day of month. if you have 100 or more then just fill the file up with enough to equal 367 or so, duplicate as necessary if you don't have enough of them. only one will show per day.

HS-Trixxxia · 03-01-2003, 08:48 AM

You guys are great!

Thanks I appreciate it.

I couldn't for the life of me understand what had to be changed - all the resource sites wanted me to install their own code.

The simpler for me, the better!

Again, thank you.

Libertine · 03-01-2003, 01:47 PM

cookie-based, unlike the one above it handles other numbers of galleries than just 31 or 365

PHP Code:


			
<?php

if(isSet($_COOKIE['bobotheclown'])){

 header("Location: " . $_COOKIE['bobotheclown']);

} else {

 $fileName = "./bobotheclown.txt";

 $a = file($fileName);

 mt_srand( (double) microtime() * 1000000 ); 

 $randNum = mt_rand( 0, sizeof($a)-1 );

 setcookie ("bobotheclown", $a[$randNum], time()+86400);

 header("Location: " . $a[$randNum]);

}

?>

HS-Trixxxia · 03-01-2003, 10:06 PM

punkworld, do you have ICQ?
9.3.0.8.6.5.8.6

Could you Oh-Oh me?

HS-Trixxxia · 03-02-2003, 05:01 PM

I must be lost or something is not obvious enough. Neither work!

Mine requires you remove one of the two # before the two lines with dates, depending on the number of lines in your gallery file.

HS-Trixxxia · 03-02-2003, 05:24 PM

In other words...Brujah...would this be what it should look like?

$fileName = "./bobotheclown.txt";
$a = file($fileName);
#$gal = date("j"); /31/ day of month
header( "Location: ". $a[$gal] );

Brujah · 03-02-2003, 05:27 PM

Actually like this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$fileName = "./bobotheclown.txt"; 

$a = file($fileName); 

$gal = date("j"); 

header( "Location: ". $a[$gal] );

?>

$fileName = "./bobotheclown.txt";
$a = file($fileName);
$gal = date("j");
header( "Location: ". $a[$gal] );

HS-Trixxxia · 03-02-2003, 08:32 PM
