Hoping to find a random link script

Hello Halfdeck and Oast, thank you both for the info.
I have one more question if you don't mind. Would you happened to know of a php code to show a picture of the day, not random. Show a new picture each day that would draw from a large list of pictures, say a years worth, 365?
Thanks again,
Dunkin

PHP has a lot of date related functions, so a list of 365 pictures could be put into an array and a key could be pulled out corresponding to the day of the year.
date(z); gives you a number from 0-365
http://www.php.net/date

Here is a simple POTD consisting of 365 images using seperate thumbnails and links to fullsize images

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$pics=array(array('pic1','thumb1','Picture 1'),

array('pic2','thumb2','Picture 2'),

array('pic3','thumb3','Picture 3'),

array('pic4','thumb4','Picture 4'),

... etc

);

$today=date('z');

echo "<a href=\"{$pics[$today][0]}\"><img src=\"{$pics[$today][1]}\" alt=\"{$pics[$today][2]}\" border=\"0\" /></a><br />\n";

?>

Link to Picture is 1st part of array, then the URL of the thumbnail and finally the text for the alt tag.

HTH
