Following are the steps to create a simple AD rotator script without using database in PHP:

- All the ad’s can be collected in one place and be displayed randomly.rand() function can be used for this purpose.

- In order to NOT use any database, a flat file can be used to store the ad’s.

- In order to store the Ad’s information (HTML code), a flat file say “ad.txt” can be created.

- The random number can be stored in a variable 

$result_random=rand(1, 100);

- Conditions can be checked to display the ad’s.

if($result_random<=70)

{

      echo "Display ad1";

}

Variables that are defined in a C# program belong to two major categories: value type and reference type. The variables that are based on value type contain a value that is either allocated on a stack or allocated in-line in a structure. The variables that are based on reference types store the memory address of a variable, which in turn stores the value and are allocated on the heap. The variables that are based on value types have their own copy of data and therefore operations done on one variable do not affect other variables. The reference-type variables reflect the changes made in the referring variables.

DispatchAction is an action that comes with Struts 1.1 or later, that let us combine Struts actions into single class, each with their own method. The org.apache.struts.action.DispatchAction class allows multiple operations to map to the different functions in the same Action class.

For e:g; html:hidden property="dispatch" value="error"/>

<SCRIPT>function set(target) {document. forms[0].dispatch. value=target;}</SCRIPT>
