Random images from folder

[ShaolinF]

Hi Guys,

 

My code will randomly select a image in a folder. The files have to be labeled as 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg otherwise it wont work. I want to change this, I want to beable to uses images with different names e.g. test.jpg, image2.jpg, border.jpg etc - How can I do this ?

 

 

<?php

// Change this to the total number of images in the folder
$total = "3";

// Change to the type of files to use eg. .jpg or .gif
$file_type = ".jpg";

// Change to the location of the folder containing the images
$image_folder = "images";

// You do not need to edit below this line

$start = "1";

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

$image_name = $random . $file_type;

echo "<img src=\"$image_folder/$image_name\" alt=\"$image_name\" />";

?>

You could do it like this...

<?php
$files = glob("/path/to/my/images/*.jpg");
$path = $files[rand(0,count($files)-1)];
echo "<img src='$path' title='an image' alt='an image' border='0px' />";
?>
