Random welcome screen

@DanteAlighieriNov 28.2003

Hi!

While I was surfing the web I ran into quite an interesting website, namely of Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. (~~[url]~~http://www.richemont.com/[/url]). I know there is some php involved. But I am not sure how it’s done exactly. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could clarify its workings somewhat and tell me how I can achieve the same effect with my website (my server supports php).

Thanks.

Dante

PHP

@essenceNov 28.2003 — #Im not completely sure, but I think that company is using Java Script rather than PHP..

Here's a way u could do it in PHP though:

same thing, just make your welcome in an image format of your choice, and it will randomize em for ya.

Looks like Perl to me...

@DanteAlighieriauthorNov 28.2003 — #Thanks for your comments! ? I am quite sure we are dealing with .php though. Check this script:

<script type="text/javascript">

var myimages=new Array()

function preloadimages(){

for (i=0;i<preloadimages.arguments.length;i++){

myimages[i]=new Image()

myimages[i].src=preloadimages.arguments[i]

}

}

preloadimages("../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<? echo $iRandom ?>_thebrands_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_investorinfo_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_companyprofile_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_careers_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_contact_on.gif","../images/copyright_2002_richemont_arrow_on.gif")

function goUrl(Selected) {

var newURL = Selected.options[Selected.selectedIndex].value ;

if (newURL!=" ") {

document.location.href = newURL;

}

}

</script>

These codes should do it. All I need know is some side server scripting. I am not completely sure how to write this though. Notice that tablecolor of the www.richemont.com site also differ each time. So I think a random image viewing script isn't enough.

Thanks.
