☹

I saw this code by Kirupa for loading random images. So I thought of having random images in my siggy. So I went ahead and made me some siggies with my fav artists in them. And then I upload the siggy images to my server. And then I destroy the world thrice over.

And then I go to the Edit Signature page and paste the code in there with the absolute paths to my images.

Doesn’t work.

Help please. ☹ ☹ ☹

Please reference a link to kirupa’s code. We don’t have ESP, and alas I haven’t memorized K-man’s site. 🙂

```auto

'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/SlipKnoTSig01.jpg',

$total = count($file_array); 
$random = (mt_rand()%$total); 
$file = "$file_array[$random]"; 
print("<img src=$file></a>"); 
?> 

```

This is the code. How do I make it work in my sig?

You’d have to embed a img, that’s actually a php file that selects which image to output.

e.g. use [img] [http://your-url.com/image.php](http://your-url.com/image.php) [/url]

And for image.php

```auto
<? 
$file_array = array
('http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/StaindSig01.jpg', 
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/SlipKnoTSig01.jpg', 
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/MansonSig01.jpg', 
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/SeetherSig01.jpg'); 
$total = count($file_array); 
$random = (mt_rand()%$total); 
$file = "$file_array[$random]"; 

$file_pointer = fopen($file);
while(($read = fread($file_pointer)) != EOF) {
echo $read;
}
?> 

```

Something like that, although I’m not sure about all those file functions and parameters.

NOW it shows that ugly cross thingie…

What you posted in the code quotes, I copied exactly that and saved it as a .php file… Anything else I need to do?

I said the functions aren’t used correctly. On [php.net](http://php.net), look up fopen and fread and write correct code.

Sorry but none of your codes worked… Thanks a million for the help though! :thumb2:

harish wrote the code for me on MSN… And it worked right away! Way ta go buddy!

```auto

<?
header('Content-type: image/jpg');
$list = "http://domain.com/image.jpg,http://www.domain.com/image2.jpg";
$array = explode(",", $list);
$rand = rand(0, sizeof($array)-1);
$image = file_get_contents($array[$rand]);
print $image;
?>

```

Thanks .harish! :thumb:

</div>

The main reasons your original code wasn’t working was because first off, I don’t understand how a random number divided by the total number of entries in your array returns a remainder of a random number between 0 and the size of your array -1. The second reason it wasn’t working is the header was of a regular HTML file. You printed out an img tag. You were trying to have your footer be an html site 😛

Second code is as mentioned, incorrect parameters for functions.

edit:/ Kril explained the random thing 😛 My bad, didn’t realize a remainder must be less than the number you’re dividing by 😛 Woops!

Dude! I dunno a crap about PHP! And I guess I could have relied on Kirupa’s code at least… But my beliefs are now gone… 😛
