Random image script from a directory

[DBookatay]

Can someone please assist me. I found this script online, but need to modify it to only show 8 random (non repetitive) images, and keep failing.

  $dir = 'Albums/Kids/S/';
  $file_display = array ('jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif');
  $dir_contents = scandir($dir);
  shuffle($dir_contents);
  foreach ($dir_contents as $file) {
  $file_type = strtolower(end(explode('.', $file)));
  if ($file !== '.' && $file !== '..' && in_array($file_type, $file_display) == true) {
	 $thumbs .= '<img src="'.$dir.'/'.$file.'" alt="" />';
  }
  }

What does your modified version look like? It's probably just one or two small fixes away from working.

I've tried so many variations

Then you must have a lot of code you can show us. Feel free to post as many of them as you want.
