Novice php question

[cjboston]

I am using a script that imports images using an array of calls to check for various ifs. the call to the script is <?php import_my_pic( array('default_image' => 'actual default image url', 'default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'width' => '60', 'height' => '60' ) ); ?>

I have it working fine but I want to call the default image from a folder so the older pages don't all have the same image,i have php script that does that

<?php import_my_pic( array('default_image' => ' include('random.php')', 'default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'width' => '60', 'height' => '60' ) ); ?>

can this be done?

OK almost there ok got it to parse just need it to call script

<?php put_image_here( array('default_image' => 'include("action php")', 'default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'width' => '80', 'height' => '80' ) ); ?>

if you use the code tags around your php or even html snippets, you will likely get more help

[ code ]Like this but without the spaces in the tags[ /code ]

would be

Like this but without the spaces in the tags

 

anyways, you can't call a php function w/in the array. As is, as far as php is concerned 'include("random.php")' is a string. You could use eval, but that is very insecure. So what I suggest is use a if statement inside the function put_image_here() that looks to see if the 'default_image' is == "RANDOM" and if so include random.php else use the image URL specified.

here is the code can you elaborate?

$defaults = array(
	'custom_key' => array( 'Thumbnail', 'thumbnail' ),
	'post_id' => false, // Build functionality in later

	'default_size' => 'thumbnail',
	'default_image' => true,
               'order_of_image' => 1,
	'link_to_post' => true,
	'image_class' => false,
	'image_scan' => true,
	'width' => true,

	'format' => 'img',
	'echo' => true
