Ok, I want to make a script that displays a random image everytime you refresh.

I used this php script:

Code:
<?php

$random = "random.txt";

$fp = file($random);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$rl = $fp[array_rand($fp)];
echo $rl;
?>


and made this random.txt file:

Code:

It works when I browse it at:

http://www.flyff-soulm8s.cykit.net/Santa/pics/random.php

But when I try to put a link in my page for the random image to display, I used this code:

Code:
<img src="http://flyff-soulm8s.cykit.net/Santa/pics/random.php">


Cause I googled it and that's what it says.

But It Doesn't Work. Please help. Thanks.

I don't know why it doesn't work, I shortened the php and it works for me.
Code:

<?
$fp = file("random.txt");
echo $fp[array_rand($fp)];
?>

Ok this is the first time Google screwed up! Well, it's not really Google's fault but the site where I saw the tutorial for this sucks a lot! I changed the code for the link from:

[code]<img src="http://flyff-soulm8s.cykit.net/Santa/pics/random.php">[code]

to:

[code]<?php include("http://www.flyff-soulm8s.cykit.net/pics/random.php"[/code]

And now it works. And:

With the code you said, yes that works fine, the problem comes when I try to link that to my pages. But well, I figured it out now.[/code]

If you do that, the src argument of img will reference a HTML page and will not render the image.

So instead of doing that, simply include the PHP file:

Code:
<?php include "random.php"; ?>


You can also do the same with SSI pages by using the #include directive.

Yes I figured that out now. The tutorial sucks. It says whn you want to link it, you just do it like a normal image and use <img src=. . . .> Stupid tutorial! I'm glad it's ok now. thanks for the replies anyway.
