Random Image with Text description (PHP)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 06.2005

I have heard that PHP will give me a way to have pictures from various folders change as i program it to. My question is before I get PHP running (which I still dont know how to do, lol).

How does PHP know where to put the Pictures that I choose to have randomized?

Also, If I want a description and some other info how do I get that to apear with the photo?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

@NogDogSep 06.2005 — Typically it's not a case of putting the pictures anywhere. Rather, it's a case of having PHP code in the page that randomly selects a picture from a list of many allowed possibilities. That "list" could be a database table, a text file, or hard-coded into the page. The list could have the directory, file name, and description text for each picture. Then your code just has to randomly select one row from the list and use that row's information to display the picture and description.

Success!
