Here’s a simple but powerful random image or image rotation script. It’s especially useful for image advertisement rotation.

Reload that address a few times and you’ll see it in action.

Instructions

1. Download and unzip. You’ll find an index.php file.

2. Create a directory on your website. Any directory. Call it anything. I like to add a .png to the end of the directory name for reasons that will become obvious in a moment.

Example: http://www.example.com/path/to/my_directory.png/

3. Upload the index.php file to the directory. Do NOT rename index.php.

Example: my_directory.png/index.php

4. Create a directory called “images” inside the directory.

Example: my_directory.png/images/

5. Add any number of PNG, JPG, or GIF images to the “images” directory.

Example:
my_directory.png/images/image.png
my_directory.png/images/image.jpg
my_directory.png/images/image.gif

6. Now simply call the image directory from any to get your random image.

Example:
<img src=”http://www.example.com/path/to/my_directory.png/” />

See? It looks like you’re calling a regular PNG image. Fabulous!
