Rotating Site Title

[egworld]

Does any one know how to do the rotating site title like on bungie.net how it says something different every time you refresh the page? I been searching on how to do this but i cant find any one that knows how and im sorta a nub to html and php so ya.

 

Can someone post the code for it, i looked at the source for bungie but nothing...

[miinaturvat]

Can't you do some javascript that picks a string from a random number and outputs some HTML that'll display that string in the title?

 

I did a similar thing, but with images, on my own site, when I was about 11

 

If you want to see it, go to www.violetice.co.uk, but don't complain about how crap it is, because it was the first site I ever made

This is what I wrote about 3 years ago for iBotModz, for a random string based on the time.

 

It grabs the day, hour and minute in the very beginning that does a ton of if statements to see if its that time, Then it writes the saying. I have it coded at every 20 minutes. I was in process of adding this to our new site, just couldn't think up enough sayings. Except you want to write it to the header, so I think you'll have to google how to write to header via javascript.

Or you could do it with php and mysql.

 

DB TABLE:

id - int(  - auto_increment 
text - varchar(300)

 

index.php :

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if(!$link){
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_sel = mysql_select_db('dbname', $link);
if(!$db_sel){
  die('Can not select db : ' . mysql_error());  
}
$num = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM title_quotes"));
$newid = rand(1,$num);
$titleary = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM title_quotes WHERE id = '".$newid."'"));
echo '<title>MySite.com - '.$titleary['text'].'</title>';
?>

 

add.php :

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if(!$link){
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_sel = mysql_select_db('dbname', $link);
if(!$db_sel){
  die('Can not select db : ' . mysql_error());  
}
if($_POST['text']){
 mysql_query("INSET INTO title_quotes (text) VALUES ('".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['text'])."')");
}
echo '<form action="add.php" method="post">';
echo '<form name="text" id="text">';
echo '</form>';
?>

 

 

There's no security on this so if this is public anybody could post to the db. But it is guarded from SQL injections.
