Rotating URL website Code

Hi all,

I've searched this to death but didn't find much.

Basically we have a plasma screen in our office which has to look at
about 4 different websites (bbc news etc) on a regular basis.

I wrote a nice little array which half works but doesn't load the
pages properly. Code is:

$pages = array(
'http://nerws.google.co.uk','http://www.sky.com/news','http: //
www.bbc.co.uk/news');
shuffle($pages);
include($pages[0]);
?>


Basically after 60 seconds I'd like to randomly show one of the news
websites.

If anyone can help point out where I'm going wrong or a better way to
do this it would be excellent. I'd like to learn how to fix this, as
well as find a solution so anyone willing to offer a little tutorial
would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Si.

Re: Rotating URL website Code

I've done some further work on this and realise that its loading the
URLs in the same page and thus thats why CSS and some images don't
work as it looks for them on my server (which they obviously aren;t).

I guess the best way is to have this page running and basically it
auto changes another IE window by setting it to load it in a different
target?

Obviously I need to add the header reload/refresh so the script
continues to run, but I'm still trying to work that out too!

Using Javascript and frames. Two frames. Very thin one at the top. Very
big one underneath. In the top frame, call a Javascript function every 60
seconds, that loads a URL into the bottom frame. Easy.

Re: Rotating URL website Code

If any of the sites have some sort of anti-frame javascript, you may
have problems - but worth trying. Another option may be to have four
(or however many) browser windows open to the correct pages, and some
sort of code on the actual computer to shuffle through them somehow...

There might be some browser plugins/addons as well.

Re: Rotating URL website Code

Thanks very much for all your help. I'll try the frames out later and
see how it goes :)

try this one that I amended specially for you to work with Iframe...
You can drop the top menue and autostart the script.
