PHP Random sig image

[conundrum]

there was someone on the forum who had a random image script where it would randomly pick one of his images for his sig and show it. i think it was a CGI script but i could be wrong. any help with creating one or finding one would be gladly apreciated

Yes, you can make a gif movie which changes the image every couple of seconds.

Please no, not gif animations. They are nasty. Use the php option.

I hope so. Because a lot of people post away without thinking about searching first. Oh well, what's done is done.

<? 

$URL1="http://yoururlhere.com/image1.gif"; 

$URL2="http://yoururlhere.com/image2.gif"; 

$URL3="http://yoururlhere.com/image3.gif"; 



srand((double) microtime() * 1000); 

$random = rand(1,3); 



if($random == 1) 

@header ("Location: $URL1"); 

elseif ($random == 2) 

@header ("Location: $URL2"); 

elseif ($random == 3) 

@header ("Location: $URL3"); 

?>

[/PHP]

Change from 1000000 to 1000. It seems more random. 1000000 really give results to image 1 like 80% of the time.

try it.

That code was written by me, but has been stripped of it's comments after time. Please comment code.

The original script was designed by a friend of Factions, in Perl. I ported it to PHP. The original development thread was started by me at zend.com and pre-dates any reference to the code, here is a link.

Here, I'll make it easy:

<?

//Random image generator

//Author: Weasel - www.almostsmart.com

$URL1="http://yoururlhere.com/image1.gif"; 

$URL2="http://yoururlhere.com/image2.gif"; 

$URL3="http://yoururlhere.com/image3.gif"; 



srand((double) microtime() * 1000); 

$random = rand(1,3); 



if($random == 1) 

@header ("Location: $URL1"); 

elseif ($random == 2) 

@header ("Location: $URL2"); 

elseif ($random == 3) 

@header ("Location: $URL3"); 

?>



[/PHP]

Thank you.

Revival of the dead!

This is the simple version so far, I will add more options further on.

<?php
$imgLink= Array ("Enter Image url here", "Enter Image url here", "Enter Image url here", "Enter Image url here");

$randNum= rand(0, count($imgLink)-1);

srand((double) microtime() * 10000);

$URL = $imgLink[$randNum];

@header ("Location: $URL");
?>

To use it, just place the link where it says "Enter Image url here", make sure the link is within the quotes. If you want to add more links to, just after the last link, add a comma and then put the link in the quotes.

TO use this script, you have to copy the code above, and save the file as .php, and host it. TO use the script, just put the it between

[img=http://webhosturl.com/filename.php]

Example. refresh for randomness.

[hsbsitez]
