random image script

[XtremeMaC]

Hi there

here's what I want to do.

I want to make a script or dl a script that will randomly pick the picture in a folder and view it. (pictures have same dimensions and type)

now there are billions of scripts like that but this one will be used either in my avatar or signature. so the filename has to remain the same.

how would this be done? would it be similar as putting "here's your ip" "here's what I'm listening" ? even so how would i do it?

help

TIA

I use this PHP GD script... Its pretty self-explanatory...

Change "sig.png" to whatever you want the file to be named...

<?php
$dh = opendir(".");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) 
{
// scanning for .gif files only and stopping sig.png being loaded 
// (you will run into errors if this isn't here)

if (preg_match('/\.gif$/i', $file) and $file != "sig.png") 
{
   $filelist[] = $file;
}
}

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$picnum = rand(0, sizeof($filelist) - 1);

header("Location: " . $filelist[$picnum]);

closedir($dh);
?>
