You could keep a database or xml file or even just a text file with a list of all the images. Your PHP could grab the list, throw it into an array, and
use array_rand() on it

I was first thinking of reading all the directories and then picking one at random, then reading all the filenames in that directory and then picking one at random. It would work, but it is slower (slow being a relative term). However, I like Jacob's idea better. Keeping track of each photo in the database is helpful for many more reasons than just this one.
