Here is my code, as of now it displays a new (random) banner every time the page is refreshed, how do I make it so it displays a new banner every 10 seconds instead of every page refresh? It's on a smarty .tpl file, that's why I'm using {php} and not <?php

Thanks.

You need to use Ajax to make a new connection to the PHP file and get a different image/link then update the current image/link with the new information.

Moved to PHP

Or you can do this using JS and set interval ... but the array would have to be re written in JS ... :-/

I would go with the javascript method, seeing as how AJAX would take a lot of time just making the connection and stuff (wouldn't be much, but even 200ms can be a long time in the world of websites).
