RE: [MLUG] Random Pictures and Apache

["Gants, Mark E. (UMC-Student)" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Several ways - 

One method: you can have the perl/php script get the directory contents
(number of pictures), then generate a random number based on the contents.
use the random number to access the corresponding file in the directory.
(think of the directory contents as an array with n slots). Random number n
loads picture n.

Subject: [MLUG] Random Pictures and Apache


Hey everyone,

I have PHP and Perl at my disposal. I also have a bunch of pictures. What
I want to do is make it so that in any given page, a random picture
selected from a bunch of pictures in a directory within public_html will
come up.

Any ideas as to how I should do this? Thanks.

Regards,
Neil
