<?php include("/images/randomimages/$image"); ?>
works fine - all the code works OK - apart from the seed issue.

Hi Angela,
I don't understand why you are using the following line:
<?php include("/images/randomimages/$image"); ?>
You have to use somthing like:
<img src="/images/randomimages/<?= $image ?>">
The other part of your code looks fine to me.
Regards,
Hamid

Subject: [PHP] mt_strand
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 10:37:47 -0000
Hi All
I could do with some pointers in using mt_strand.
I understand that because my server has <PHP4.2.0 random number
generators need to be seeded using mt_strand or mt_rand.
I have the following code [created with the help of this list]:
<?php
$imgdir = /images/randomimages/";
if ($handle = opendir($imgdir))
{
while (false !==($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
$random[] = $file;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
$image = $random[mt_rand(0, count($random)-1)];
?>
<?php include("/images/randomimages/$image"); ?>
and have found the following in the PHP manual:
<?php
// seed with microseconds
function make_seed()
{
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000);
}
mt_srand(make_seed());
$randval = mt_rand();
?>
However - I'm not 100% sure how to incorporate it into my code - I have
tried a few things but each time I break the code.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ange
