Some might say that time() isn't random enough, but I say that (in this case) which of three consecutive seconds you hit the web site at is random enough to select which banner ad to display. The randomness is not a based on the time() function, but when the page is hit. Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists http://www.developersdesk.com
