should be fine. I end with .php as my editor is much friendlier with that.
See: www.dartmouthdigital.com/phpclass/week3.php.
This class project was to deliver different content based on browsers, so
you'll get one of 6 themes. In each of the themes, the banner is selected
randomly - via css background images in a separate "random image css file."
for your variant, if not using a DB, and without getting too tricky (because
I'm really new to php!):
build an array with the link and text, (from a text /xml file or php include
files that you've taught your users to do)
name the images by number - matching the array position.
-- or two arrays with a better file name -- or someone teach me how
to do more than two dimensions in a php array. )
select two random numbers - make sure they're not the same.
create the css plugging in the correct file name,
create the html code plugging in the correct text and link name
Code page is linked from the demo.
