After many months of wondering how and even after making a few failed attempts, I have finally learned how to load a random image using PHP -Thanks to kirupa’s excellent article ([http://www.kirupa.com/web/random\_image.php](http://www.kirupa.com/web/random_image.php)) _doing my happy dance!_ :chinaman:  
Here it is exactly as I wanted: [http://www.antoineart.com/index.php](http://www.antoineart.com/index.php) (first image)

BUT NOW: How do I get that onto my home page ([AntoineArt.com](http://AntoineArt.com))? In order for that page to display as my home page I need to name it index.html… but if I change the .php to .html the code does not work anymore :diss:

Advice would be appreciated!
