Random image via PHP

[hey_suburbia]

Here is a snippet of code I have to populate images and use glider.js to power the image viewer, but I need to make each image random... Any thoughts?

 

Code:

<?php
	foreach ($videos as $video):
		$video_count++;
		if ($video->header=="")
			$play="true";
		else
			$play="false";
		?>
		<div class="video-list-item">
			<a href="javascript:switchHeader('<?=$video->text1?>','<?=$video->file?>','<?=$video->header?>','<?=$video->link?>',<?=$play?>,true)">
			<img style='float:left;' src="<?=$this->baseurl?>/images/videos/<?=$video->thumbnail?>">
			</a>
			<div class='wrapper'>
				<h3><a href="javascript:switchHeader('<?=$video->text1?>','<?=$video->file?>','<?=$video->header?>','<?=$video->link?>',<?=$play?>,true)"><?=$video->text1?></a></h3>
				<p class='black' ><?=$video->text2?></p>
				<p style='font-weight: normal' class='black' ><?=$video->text3?></p>
			</div>
			<a href="javascript:switchHeader('<?=$video->text1?>','<?=$video->file?>','<?=$video->header?>','<?=$video->link?>',<?=$play?>,true)">> VIEW</a>
		</div>
		<?php if ($video_count%3==0 && count($videos)!=$video_count) print "</li><li>"; ?>
	<?php endforeach; ?></li>

shuffle($array)

$j=count($array)

for($i;$i>$j;$i++)

$pic=array_pop($array)

 

edit:

or right before you start your foreach just

shuffle($videos)

Thanks, but when I did this:

<?php
shuffle($videos)
	foreach ($videos as $video):
		$video_count++;
		if ($video->header=="")
			$play="true";
		else
			$play="false";
		?>

 

I got this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOREACH in /nfs/c04/h03/mnt/65395/domains/nhsonline.org/html/templates/nhs/glider.php  on line 10

Sorry about the post above that was regarding a missing ";", this is the error I'm getting:

 

Warning: shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /nfs/c04/h03/mnt/65395/domains/nhsonline.org/html/templates/nhs/glider.php  on line 9

If $videos is not an array how does a foreach not generate an error??
