Radom Image Display Fails Randomly...

[leoblanchette]

Hello,

 

Just to keep things looking fresh I have a series of over a hundred images that displays randomly, five across, toward the header of my site.

 

See here... Jump around the site or refresh the page now and then...you will see the images will randomly fail to show through.

Without a doubt they are also loading slower than they should too.

 

As far as I can tell, everything should be fine! See below code. I think the only thing messing it up is the random image function itself is quirky.

 

$imagecount = 0;


while($imagecount < 5){



$start = "1";


$random = rand($start, $total);


$image_name = $random . $file_type;


echo "<img class=\"scrollingimage\" alt=\"\" height=\"105\" width=\"124\" src=\"$image_folder/$image_name\" />";

$imagecount ++;

}

The reason the images fail to show through, is because they don't exist.

 

For instance.

 

/scrollingimages/97.jpg Does NOT exist, although the script is outputting a call for it.

Thats funny. I can't believe I did that.
