html in php

Hey all,

As of now i'm using a image rotation script on a main page. It pulls images from my folder and then displays them (nothing fancy)

Anyway, i'm kinda stuck when it comes to adding a link on it. the script:

<?
 $imglist='';
 $img_folder = "thumbs/";

  mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000);

 $imgs = dir($img_folder);

 while ($file = $imgs->read()) {
   if (eregi("gif", $file) || eregi("jpg", $file) || eregi("png", $file))
     $imglist .= "$file ";

 } closedir($imgs->handle);

 $imglist = explode(" ", $imglist);
 $no = sizeof($imglist)-2;

 $random = mt_rand(0, $no);
 $image = $imglist[$random];

 echo '<img src="'.$img_folder.$image.'" border=0>';
 ?>

Code (markup):

I tried adding the link around it, but then it will just give a link to the main page of the site as php won't read the $image in that part (or so i think)

Any ideas?

 

echo "<img src=$img_folder/$image border=0>";

Code (markup):

 

echo "<img src=".$img_folder.$image." border=0>"; // if folder variable have / at the end
echo "<img src=".$img_folder."/".$image." border=0>"; // if folder variable don't have / at the end

PHP:

 

I see what i had wrong now

And so i changed it to:

echo "<a href='myurl'><img src=$img_folder/$image border=0></a>";

Code (markup):

Thanks a lot, qualityhostings. Rep added.
