ok nevermind !! i finally got it working... it wasn't recognizing my rotate.php where i had it for some reason even though i checked the path a million times... just wasn't liking it in that folder for some reason, but i moved it to a different folder and then it worked...

if anyone is wondering how to do this here is what i did...

download this script for rotating images ...
http://www.alistapart.com/d/randomizer/rotate.txt

save that as rotate.php and upload it into in an image folder , with only the images you want to rotate...

then in the stylesheet.css
#logoWrapper{
background: url(path/to/your/image/folder/you/want/to/rotate/rotate.php) no-repeat;
}


:)

check it out, i've got it working on my store now

if you hit refresh a few times you'll see that the logo background changes color!!! yay.

I'd like to add the following:

1. This .php script does not rotate the images while the site visitor is viewing the page; it simply selects a random image to display each time the page is loaded.
2. To make this work, I had to create an .htaccess file for the folder in which I put the rotating images. Security-wise, I'm not sure if it is a smart thing to allow .php scripts to run from this folder, when they are clearly not meant to. Caveat Emptor.
