I want a radom image loaded on a webpage through folder, automatically on every refresh. Currently i am using a script http://www.alistapart.com/d/randomizer/rotate.txt

this script is working absolutely great, just i am looking a way to create a link for the image to go on some URL.

Can anyone tell me any other script which is in php?

You can try the script located at http://ma.tt/scripts/randomimage/. It is similar to the previous script you were using, however this one uses standard HTTP headers instead of reading the entire image file like the last script did, thus making it possible to link your image. For example:

<a href="http://some.url"><img src="rotate.php" alt="A Random Image"></a>

Thanks a lot for the link, but possible to link seperate image for seperate URL?

One one link, we can even link before too.

PHP Code:

<? // The microtime() function returns the current UNIX timestamp, in microseconds
srand((float) microtime() * 10000000);

//next, define images and links in the array
//you can use absolute or full url's, if you need more, add them in the same array as the existing links
//
$image[1]['pic']='banners/image1.jpg';
$image[1]['link']='link1.php#1';

$image[2]['pic']='banners/image2.jpg';
$image[2]['link']='link1.php#2';

$image[3]['pic']='banners/image3.jpg';
$image[3]['link']='link1.php#3';

$image[4]['pic']='banners/image4.jpg';
$image[4]['link']='link1.php#4';

$image[5]['pic']='banners/image5.jpg';
$image[5]['link']='link1.php#5';

//create the statement to show the images
$rn = array_rand($image);

//then display the image and link on the page
echo '<a href="'.$image[$rn]['link'].'">';
echo '<img src="'.$image[$rn]['pic'].'">';

?>

That should get you what you wanted. Here is a test link on my site to try it out.

Thanks for the code, is this possible in your code to set - only random image on refresh and not automatically load the another image or some fade in transition between them because currently not looking good. Secondly, link blue border also removed from the image.

Can't possible some editing in this script : http://www.alistapart.com/d/randomizer/rotate.txt

Hey, that is exactly what the script does, other than a fade in. If you want fading, you need to use flash or DHTML (with JS)
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

The sample page reloads to show you the sample of the randomness of the images loaded, it is not part of the script or intended to be shown.

You can easily remove the blue border by adding border="0" to the code to display the images.

//then display the image and link on the page
echo '<a href="'.$image[$rn]['link'].'">';
echo '<img src="'.$image[$rn]['pic'].'" border=\"0\">';

Maybe someone can modify your code.

Thanks, your script works absolutely fine, but i have noticed extra space in bottom 5-6pixels are coming from the actual size of the image, which can destroy the look. You know why those extra pixels are coming and how to avoid?

[Sequal7]

Can you show me an example?

[ashras99]

have a look the sample here: http://chandrarat.com/testshow.php

above only few extra pixels in bottom is coming, but where actually i am trying to place where around 10 pixels are coming.

Actually, it is your table that is doing that, not my script. Remove the &nbsp: from the empty tables and the

Make the table background the same as the page background and that will disappear.

bgcolor="#333333"

thanks a lot, can you tell me what is the meaning of "srand((float) microtime() * 10000000);" in script.

Is this also possible to add in a script to create slideshow of the images in a same way...with link?

[Sequal7]

Seeding, it instructs the random number generator to find a random number (image) based, in this case, in microseconds.
Microtime() function returns the current UNIX timestamp, PHP micortime() function

Sure, this code could become something more than just a banner image display, but the complexity would grow, and so too would the script.

Maybe you should try something like this;
