[SOLVED] Random Picture generation

[prime]

I've tried to design a random picture generation script for my forums.....

 

it works on firefox though all it does on I.E and opera is to create the picture error red box, also it does create some weird html, and I've tried fixing this but been having problems.

 

Also how would I be able to modify this to store the pictures in a subfolder called avatars, everytime I try the code doesn't even work for FF.

 

Thank you

 

here's the code

 

Thank you

 

<?php //random picture generation script

//1st picture stored pics
$pics1 = array('princeoutfit-Front.gif','prime1.png');

//2nd picture
$pics2 = array('lunarprime.png','ranger prime.gif');

//3rd picture stored
$pics3 = array('princeoutfit-Back.gif','shadeprime.png');

//4th pictures stored
$pics4 = array('prime2.png','shadow-sword.gif',);

srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);

//Shuffle 1st pic
shuffle ($pics1);
shuffle ($pics1);

//Shuffle 2nd pic
shuffle ($pics2);
shuffle ($pics2);

//shuffle 3rd pic
shuffle ($pics3);
shuffle ($pics3);

//shuffle 4th pic
shuffle ($pics4);
shuffle ($pics4);

not sure if thats what you need but try this

[prime]

Unfortunately no

 

you need I'm trying to get the random generation funtion srand and shuffle to work with those picture files so it displays a random set of pictures in each of those slots each time the page is loaded

[Caesar]

If I understood your last post...you want to randomize images that are displayed...

 

<?php

$path = 'images/';
$images = array('one.jpg', 'two.jpg', 'three.jpg', 'four.jpg');
$img = $path.$images[rand(0, count($images) - 1)];

echo'<img src="'.$img.'">';

?>

 

[prime]

yes thats correct and with the path you have added, that solves my other problem as well

 

Thank you, also its a lot mroe compact code that I used lol.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Now I just have to insert it into my code

 

thank you again :-)

[Caesar]

You're welcome. Happy coding..

[prime]

Thank you very much, I had to add a shugffle to actualy make it random though like

 

 

<?php //random picture generation script

//1st Picture
$path1 = 'avatar/';
$images1 = array('lunarprime.png','ranger prime.gif');
shuffle ($images1);
$img1 = $path1.$images1[rand(0, count($images1) - 1)];

//2nd Picture
$path2 = 'avatar/';
$images2 = array('princeoutfit-Front.gif','prime1.png');
shuffle ($images2);
$img2 = $path2.$images2[rand(0, count($images2) - 1)];

//3rd Picture
$path3 = 'avatar/';
$images3 = array('princeoutfit-Back.gif','shadeprime.png');
shuffle ($images3);
$img3 = $path3.$images3[rand(0, count($images3) - 1)];

//4th Picture
$path4 = 'avatar/';
$images4 = array('prime2.png','shadow-sword.gif');
shuffle ($images4);
$img4 = $path4.$images4[rand(0, count($images4) - 1)];

?>

 

then with the actually image codes

 

<img src="<?php echo "$img1"; ?>" alt="image1" width="43" height="120">

<img src="<?php echo "$img2"; ?>" alt="image2" width="43" height="120">

<img src="<?php echo "$img3"; ?>" alt="image3" width="43" height="120">

<img src="<?php echo "$img4; ?>" alt="image4" width="43" height="120">

 

anyhow topic solved thank you very much
