SIMPLE RANDOM IMAGE

If you want to insert a random image into a page but want to do it with a minimum amount of code, here is a very simple way to do it with both PHP and Javascript.

First name your images something like this:


text-1.jpg
text-2.jpg
text-3.jpg

For PHP, just use a normal IMG tag where you want the image to display and insert the following code into it like so:

 1

<img src="text-<?php echo rand(min,max); ?>.jpg">

For Javascript, use this code where you want the image:

 1
2
3

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<IMG src='text-" + (Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) + min) + ".jpg'>");
</script>

In either case, replace min with number to start at and the max with the last number to include.
