Random images with url and title fields

Is there a way to make a random image script that would also allow me to display other related information such as the title and a link to the original photo on flickr?

To date I have been using the following for the random images, and if possible store the information in a text file as opposed to a DB table.

[code]
<?php

$total = “11”;

$file_type = “.jpg”;

$image_folder = “images/random”;

$start = “1”;

$random = mt_rand($start, $total);

$image_name = $random . $file_type;

echo “<img src=”$image_folder/$image_name” alt=”$image_name” />”;

?>
[/code]

my intention is to use locally stored thumbnails to link to the original images on Flickr.

Also in #PHP _↴
