Randomizer

[kusadasi-guy]

i am creating random numbers with .ASP
<%
dim my_random
randomize
my_random = (Rnd*38)+1
%>
<img src="images/randım/picture-<%=int(my_random)%>.jpg">

That code snippet createing random numbers between 1-38.

How can i do that in PHP?

<img src="images/randım/picture-<?=rand(1,39)?>.jpg">
Php automaticaly uses randomize, and rand() returns int.

OHHH!!!!! Thats GREAT!!!!!

Thank you so much "er2er"

How can i do this with a variable?


<img src="images/randım/picture-<?=my_variable?>.jpg">

In PHP variables starts with $, so
<img src="images/randım/picture-<?=$my_variable?>.jpg">

Some theory: ;-)
<? is short php opening tag (equivalent og <?php) and ?> is a closing tag
<?=... ?> is an equivalent of <? echo ... ?> (outputs ...)

Now, you can use for example:
<? $my_random = rand(1,39); ?>
and then:
<img src="images/random/picture-<?=$my_variable?>.jpg">

If you want to use more advanced pseudo-random number generator, you can try mt_randomize() and mt_rand(1,39) - just to play with php :)
