imglist=new Array()

imglist[0] ="./splashimages/2002sep/01.jpg"
imglist[1] ="./splashimages/2002sep/02.jpg"
imglist[2] ="./splashimages/2002sep/03.jpg"
imglist[3] ="./splashimages/2002sep/04.jpg"
imglist[4] ="./splashimages/2002sep/05.jpg"

imglist[14] ="./splashimages/2002sep/15.jpg"
imglist[15] ="./splashimages/2002sep/16.jpg"



rndnum=Math.round(Math.random() * (15-0))+0
img=imglist[rndnum]

Seems like it would...

PHP/SQL

This should display random banner. It could be extended to include description below banner, to display certain banners more often, to track number of clicks per banner, to handle jpeg and gif banners etc. It requires some admin interface that will let you upload and manage banners .

page.html
.....
<? include 'banner.php' ?>
.....

banner.php
<?php
// make db connection

if ($bannerId) {
$res = @mysql_query ( "SELECT image from banners where id='$banner' LIMIT 1";
$image = mysql_result($res,0);
header ( "Content-type: image/gif");
echo $image ;
exit;
}

$res=mysql_query("select count (id) from banners where deleted <>'1' ") ;
$rnd =rand(0, mysql_result ($res, 0) );
$res = mysql_query ("select id , alt, link from banners LIMIT ( '$rnd' , 1) ) ;
$bdata = mysql_fetch_array ($res) ;

$html = '<a href="' .$bdata[link]. '"><img src="banner.php?bannerId=' . $bdata[id] . '" alt="' .$bdata[alt]. '"></a>';

echo $html ;

?>


banners table
id , alt, link , deleted, image (BLOB)
