//This will get an array of all the .gif images in a folder
$img_array = glob("/path/to/images/*.gif");

<?php
//This will get an array of all the .gif images in a folder
$img_array = glob("/path/to/images/*.gif");
//Pick a random image from the array
$img = array_rand($img_array);
//Display the image on the page
echo '<img alt="'.$img_array[$img].'" src="'.$img_array[$img].'" />';

$img_array = glob("/path/to/images/*.jpg");
//Pick a random image from the array
$img = array_rand($img_array);
//Display the image on the page
echo '<img alt="'.$img_array[$img].'" src="'.$img_array[$img].'" />';
?>

foreach

 

You need to loop through the results.

$img_array = glob("/path/to/images/*.{gif,jpg}", GLOB_BRACE);

how it all work am i nearly there taking a blind shot at this posted code.

 

glob("/path/to/images/*.{gif,jpg}", GLOB_BRACE);

 

glob >>> get all the image names via a path.

 

("/path/to/images/ <<< path

 

*.{gif,jpg}", // wildcard * letrail . { open brace gif , <<< and jpg images } << close brace

 

, <<< another exspesion comming

 

GLOB_BRACE  <<<< look for 1 extention or another ); <<< close
