No way... *lol* I have too much pride to do that. I could have done that before I posted in the forums. It's a pride thing. I always figure out web stuff, and I WILL figure this out...

a random banner code is just something like:

<?php
$banners = array("bannera.gif",
            "bannerb.gif",
            "bannerc.gif",
            "bannerd.gif",
            "bannere.gif",
            "bannerf.gif",
            "bannerg.gif",
            "bannerh.gif",
            "banneri.gif",            
            "bannerj.gif");
            
mt_srand(time());

$random_banner = (mt_rand(1, (count($banners)))-1);

$banners_kept = "./images/";

$banner_display = "<img src=\"".$banners_kept.$banners[$random_banner]."\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" />";

echo $banner_display;
?>

place that code (or similar code) where you want the banners to appear, all you need to change is the banner.gif names and the $banners_kept value if the banners aren't kept in the images folder.
You mentioned an admin option but didnt say what for, you could make up a page that allows you to change the array manually but isn't really needed. You could use a counter system or client system but for something like that you're better off using something like PHPadnews (or whateve it is), check out hotscripts.com

Maybe looking into a remotely hosted script is an option for you until you get your scripting down.

My server does support php. I have several other php scripts that I use. The way all the scripts have worked, is you install the script on your server. All of them have had different directions for making the banners appear on your site. I've followed all the directions for each one I have downloaded repeatedly, and still can't get the banners to show up on the page. I'm doing it all using my server. At this point even an easy cgi script would be an option for me... Thanks for your time. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Hmm, let me ask you this.. are you saving the file that has the php code with a .php extension? If so then are you uploading those files to a server that supports php? You cant use php on your computer unless you have it installed, meaning you would have to upload it to your server before viewing it since PHP is a server-side script.
