Random Image & Directory images

Hello, How would i make a random image be chosen from a directory of images, and is there a way to show all of the images, Like a thumbnail, But it shows all the images in a certain directory?

thanks

 

If you want advice on how to do it I would recommend to use the dir class and filter ., .. , and all images / files you don't want to display. The example in that page will give you all that you need to get the files from the folder you want.

 

Thanks, But what about the random image?

Tweaked to what I think you need.

$images = glob( '*.{gif,jpeg,jpg,png}', GLOB_BRACE );
$image = $images[rand( 0, count($images) - 1 )];

switch ( strtolower(substr($image, -4, 4)) )

    case "jpeg":
    case ".jpg":
