Random Image

Hello,

I am working on a script where random images show up and people rate them. I am having one problem though. That is that the same images keep showing up! Does anyone know how to go about this? I was thinking maybe recording there IP address or something. Help!

Thanks,
Jason

 

Just save a cookie
setcookie()

 

What's the code you are using right now?

You'll need to use something like RAND to select the image to display randomly.

 

As he wrote, he has already done that. He needs a tip on how to stop showing the same images

 

in your query

select rand(idofpicture) ** rest of condition **;

thats it

 

I have a random php script that display images randomly when you refresh page.
It doesn't have rate function nor record IP .

 

With that query, it will still be possible to find the same image multiple times!

 

try this tutorial. Should be pretty simple and easy to adapt to your need

 

I agree with elias_sorensen
you need cookie... so if image already choose it will save on user cookie
after that array your image (before random your image) and unset your array with cookie
and finally you can random your image array

 

can you post your random image code,because there are some tricks you can do to avoid same image showing twice in a row
