Re: [WSG] Accessible image rotators

[Christiaan Knol]

Here's a sample of a very simple php/mySQL snippet I have used for this 
in the past.  LIMIT by however many random images you wish to display.  
Can be modified fairly easy to extend its use (image size, separate 
associated alt and description etc.)

CREATE TABLE `imgrotate` (
  `img` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `desc` varchar(200) default NULL
) TYPE=MyISAM;
INSERT INTO `imgrotate` (`img`,`desc`) VALUES 
("name.jpg","description");

<?php
	$result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM imgrotate ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 
1");
	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
	{
		$img = $row["img"];
		$desc = $row["desc"];
	}
?>
<img src="path/to/images/<?=$img?>" alt="<?=$desc?>" />

May be of some use...

Hi
we use rotator php scripts and all we do is something like this.....
<img src="images/headers/rotate.php" height="96" width="750" alt="some 
alt
tag or another" />

You only end up with a single alt tag for all images though so that 
might be
a problem for you, but the site validates just fine
