Greetings, I just read the excellent tutorial on loading a random image in php located [here](http://www.kirupa.com/web/random_image.php)… Is there a way to add an ‘if’ type of statement to this function so that the same image will not load twice in a row? Currently the same image will load 2x in a row if the same random number occurs twice.

Thanks for any help!
