the first ones says ... choose a random number between 1 and 4
If 1 run the cookiestuffer code

The second code goes into your htaccess file ... means when including the img src="tracking_pixel.jpg" .. then load the aff side in the background instead of loading the image.

the text you need to put into part one is

Code:

<img src="tracking_pixel.jpg" border="0" width="0px" />

hmmm i just figured out that i can not edit my previous post ... well however for the others tha thave the same problem as Neil does, here is the Cookiestuffer code that works with the randomizer and htaccess file:

Basically it is just the php code like:

Code:

<?
$random_number = rand(1,4);
if($random_number == 1){
echo "<img src='tracking_pixel.jpg' border='0' width='0px' />";     
}
?>

in the hataccess you will have the following:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule tracking_pixel.jpg http://www.affiliate.com/BDHDHDHDJ/ [R,L]

However i would suggest that you insert the htaccess into a subflder called images. so the htaccess code is still the same but now the htaccess file is located into a subfolder called images. if you have done so change the first code to:

Code:

<?
$random_number = rand(1,4);
if($random_number == 1){
echo "<img src='img/tracking_pixel.jpg' border='0' width='0px' />";     
}
?>

where img is the subfolder your htaccess file is in.

P.S. The File that you put the php code on needs to be *php file ;-)
If you want this code to work with html also you additionally need to put the following code into your htaccess file:

Code:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php

or the following one in case your server uses php5 already

Code:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm .php

cheers
