You're missing the point here.. I'm not talking about rotating images or tables on my own sites, I am talking about rotating tables/images of MINE to be able to be php included on OTHER PEOPLES pages.. were I disussing my own pages, I would just code right into the page itself, or include with php extension, but since I am trying to have this include work on others pages, the page/table/image being included coming from my domain & hosting, & the php include string being called from a different domain/host.

Certainly there are other various methods of getting a simple potd/motd, etc to work, however, standard potd/motd, etc are only images & links, whereas what I want to accomplish is similar to the method of Jaymancash & some others where the potd/motd etc is enclosed within a table so that there is also text, etc, so that with other webmasters placing the php include on their pages would have my table/image etc being displayed on their sites, but the page/table etc is hosted by me.. get it now?

If I need be fucking with apache, & all this other server admin shit, looks like I need to have someone do it for me as I haven't a friggen idea about any of that, lol.... I did however spend several hours reading about fread, fopen, etc.. so, eventually can figure all this out, I hope
