I'm sure there are many ways without doubt.
Flash is an option if you know a little coding, easy stuff.
Handy for making Pre-loaders too for people who have
slower connections. etc, or large loading files.
Theres probably even better ways of doing it that
escapes me this minute. Oh, and yes, this will only
work on your web site, but I have a feeling your on
about your sig, which you can't do.!

 

I dont think its possible with html, definitely php.

 

can you use php with myspace? how would you do it with php?

 

php is a very powerful scripting language(does it get compiled?), it wouldnt be enabled for myspace.

 

well, how would I do it with php?

 

Here is my example, http://www.underplay.net/randomsong.php

Here is the code..

EDIT: Oh you wanted to count from 0 to 6, that is possible but you would have to track the user who is rendering your page which would be more complicated, i coded this example before realizing you wanted them to count.

Code:

thank you very very much, its good, it doesn't have to count from 0 to 6, thanks again....

 

oh, when I try to put it up it comes up, with just:

.. http-equiv="Content-Type" c.."text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Example of generating random songs in php - underplay


why does it do that?

 

Probably because myspace doesnt allow php

EDIT: Read 2nd page for solution.

 

Ok i have found a way, use this code in your myspace crap.

Code:

<embed name="RAOCXplayer" src="http://www.underplay.net/randomsong.php" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="320" height="302" ShowC.."1" ShowStatusBar="1" AutoSize="false" EnableC.."0" DisplaySize="0" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/"></embed>

 

so just put that code, not the other thing, or put both?

 

Just put that code, what i put above in your myspace crap, not the code on the first page..just the code above, and edit it if you want.
