You can rotate text ads or any other content, including images, sound, flash -- singly or in combination. You can display any amount of information -- even entire web pages. (It can be used to rotate web pages if you're testing for marketing or other purposes.)

Every time the script is called, it displays the next content. When it reaches the end, it starts at the beginning again.

Your content can be displayed on the page with SSI or inside a popup window. To view example code, click the applicable button:

OVERVIEW print GetBottom; exit; } # sub Overview sub ExampleSSI { print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print GetTop('Example SSI'); print <

Code for implementing Master Merry-Go-Round to display contant as a Server Side Include for seamless integration into a web page.

On most servers, this requires a .shtml page file name extenstion. Ask your server admin if you're unsure about their requirements.

The code is presented in two different ways. Use whichever works best for you.

Currently, you have $howmany different content display blocks.

Content block number $next is next in line for display.
