Random Image Gen HELP!

[butler68]

I'm trying to get the image on my home page to change everytime it is visited. http://www.butler-motors.com

I have the images located at http://www.butler-motors.com/images/home/main

 

I have tried this with 6 different codes I have found on the net. Everytime I just get a broken image and never displays a picture. Is there something else I need to do other than adding in the PHP code. For example, are all websites setup to run PHP or is there something I need to setup before? Thank you for your help.

first you need to check if you webhost is supporting PHP (most do tho)... second it would be nice to see just one of the script you are using so we can check for errors.

I have not even gotten to the point of posting it on my site. I'm just trying to build it in dreamweaver CS3 at the moment.

Here is one site I tried http://www.totallyphp.co.uk/scripts/random_image.htm

php files won't run unless you have php set up on your computer. Try uploading the files to the server where your website is hosted and see if it works properly.

i place this script in my image directory, it simply displays a random image:

<?php
$files = array(); $i = -1; // Initialize some variables
$handle = opendir('./');
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if (preg_match('/\.'.'jpg'.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive
	$files[] = $file; // it's good
	++$i;
}
}
closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore
mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2
$rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along
header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!
?>

THANK YOU. All I needed to do was put it on the server.
