on my main page i have some scrolling blocks that pull content from Amazon and The PosterShop. insted of loading all these links and then using marque to scroll them, i would like to display them like a banner that rotates with each page load. anyone got any php code that will do this without storing information in a database?

I think hotscripts.com with have a few files you could use. A few are based on getting the needed info from a simple text file.

You might check out the Amazon module from http://www.preciogasolina.com/
once you grab the data and cache it into your database it is much easier to perform customizations to the display.

Good idea that. I tried that module a while ago and it works very well.
I only dropped it because it was pulling data from amazon.com and I really needed it from amazon.co.uk due to the currency type dislaying as $ instead of £ .
Of course I could have spent an age modifying it but for the few sales I anticipated, it wasnt worth the effort - though I think they might have fixed that issue now.

Greta script!

i got under control i just used rand like so:

srand(time());
$random = (rand()%9);

switch ($random){
case "0":
$Asin = "B0000TAZ88";
break;
case "1":
$Asin = "B00005JLF1";
break;
case "2":
$Asin = "B0000ALF8I";
break;
case "3":
$Asin = "B0001I55ZQ";
break;
case "4":
$Asin = "B0002JJTYC";
break;
case "5":
$Asin = "B0001KJOI8";
break;
case "6":
$Asin = "B00008XKZX";
break;
case "7":
$Asin = "B00008XKZE";
break;
case "8":
$Asin = "0553375970";
break;
case "9":
$Asin = "0553494376";
break;

i have been using NukeAmazon from the start it is a good mod after u smash the bugs.

I do have a question, i have designd my FanSites (Alias and Starwars) to load like so:

modules.php?op=modload&name=DOT-FanSites&file=Alias
this calls Alias.php which inturn calls Alias.html where i have all my scripts for ebay, PosterShop, etc... When i call and use the includes/NukeAmazon/functions.php using inline php from the html file nothing displays. I don't got any errors, the coding is right but nothing get displayed. I must use a completely of functions called amazon_functions to pull info from amazon and display it. any ideas?
