Oh, I forgot to mention, my ISP doesn't provide PHP support on the free server. :(
I found Xoopiter.com, and I was able to host my PHP script and my images on there and it worked! Adfree!
Problem is, I don't want to upload my images to the Xoopiter server as it will quickly eat away at my bandwidth, so I want the script there but my images on my ISP's free server. Unfortunately, thats when the script doesn't seem to work anymore.
Here is the PHP script. I substituted in my full path to the images as instructed and now it doesn't work. The images are in folder http://www.members.shaw.ca/slark/blogimgs/ What did I do wrong? I've ot changed the way I linked to the PHP file so thats not the problem.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Modify the $folder setting in the configuration section below.
2. Add image types if needed (most users can ignore that part).
3. Upload this file (rotate.php) to your webserver. I recommend
uploading it to the same folder as your images.
4. Link to the file as you would any normal image file, like this:
<img src="http://example.com/rotate.php">
5. You can also specify the image to display like this:
<img src="http://example.com/rotate.php?img=gorilla.jpg">
This would specify that an image named "gorilla.jpg" located
in the image-rotation folder should be displayed.
That's it, you're done.
*/
/* ------------------------- CONFIGURATION -----------------------
Set $folder to the full path to the location of your images.
For example: $folder = '/user/me/example.com/images/';
If the rotate.php file will be in the same folder as your
images then you should leave it set to $folder = '.';
*/
$folder = 'http://www.members.shaw.ca/slark/blogimgs/';
/*
Most users can safely ignore this part. If you're a programmer,
keep reading, if not, you're done. Go get some coffee.
If you'd like to enable additional image types other than
gif, jpg, and png, add a duplicate line to the section below
for the new image type.
Add the new file-type, single-quoted, inside brackets.
Add the mime-type to be sent to the browser, also single-quoted,
after the equal sign.
For example:
PDF Files:
$extList['pdf'] = 'application/pdf';
CSS Files:
$extList['css'] = 'text/css';
You can even serve up random HTML files:
$extList['html'] = 'text/html';
$extList['htm'] = 'text/html';
Just be sure your mime-type definition is correct!
*/
$extList = array();
$extList['gif'] = 'image/gif';
$extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpeg';
$extList['jpeg'] = 'image/jpeg';
$extList['png'] = 'image/png';
// You don't need to edit anything after this point.
// --------------------- END CONFIGURATION -----------------------
$img = null;
if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') {

or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);

imagestring ($im, 2, 5, 5, "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color);
imagepng ($im);

PS. By the way, doesn anyone know how to make the images rotate every X minutes?
