Hello guys!
I want to iframe a link on my website but i want it to be visible every 25-30 visitors!
So something like to choose a random number from 1-25 and everytime the number is 9 to show the iframe on the page!

As i know nothing about php i have no idea how to do it!
Any help is appreciated

Also my iframe code seems not to work so good so if anyone can provide a new one i will appreciate it a lot

Thanks in advance!

Ps:i also posted this in jr vip forum but now i think its better to have more people to see it

A random number won't work for this. You'll have to store a running count in a text file or DB though. Pm me the details if u wasn't me to help!

Yeah. You need to keep trackof your visitors number and then do something like this:

if ($visitors_counter % 30 == 0) {
echo 'Your iframe code';
}

Click to expand...

PS: You can store the IPs of the users and then count them. So you'll make sure that your iframe will show only for 30 unique visitors.

Thanks a lot both for the replies! But why a random number wont work?
if ($randomnumber == 9) {
echo 'Your iframe code';
}

Because if $randomnumber is generated randomly(rand function) you don't know when your random generated number will be equal to 9.

Just started with php but I think something like this should work:


$randomNum = rand(1,30);
if ($randomNum == 9) {

iframe

}

That's the whole point right? For a small amount of visitors the iframe could be active for more then 1 in 30, but as the visitor count increases it averages out to 1/30.

If you generate a random number every time some one his that page, it may never pick 9. Or it might pick 9, three times in a row.

That won't get your I frame showing up anywhere near once every 30 visits.

Did you really have to crosspost the same question in 2 different places?
