Random Image By Day.

**maverick** · 12-14-2006, 09:49 AM

Hi,

I'm using a phpBB mod called ezPortal,well I made a block to add a random image by day,for example if it's monday i would like a script that could select the images for monday and display them randomly. A few months ago someone here helped me get a great random image script that has sessions :

PHP Code:


<?php

  error_reporting(E_ALL);

  session_start();



  $image = array(

    array(

      'image' => 'images/image.jpg',

      'link' => 'http://url.com'

   ),

    array(

      'image' => 'images/image.jpg',

      'link' => 'http://url.com'

    )

  );



  if(!isset($_SESSION['curing']))

    $_SESSION['curing'] = rand(0, count($image) - 1);



  $image = $image[$_SESSION['curing']];



  $image = '<a href="' . $image['link'] . '" target="_top"><img src="' . $image['image'] . '" border="0"></a>';

?>

<html>

<head>

</head>



<body>

<?php echo($image); ?>

</body>

</html>

Can anyone help me maybe modify this script a bit to display the images by the day?

Thanks for your time

Regards

Mick

Ok i found a cool random image by day script,but since Im a php noob i was wondering if you could help me modify it a bit to my needs.

PHP Code:


<?php



/**

 * Change the name of the image folder

 *

 * Images must be named Monday.gif, Tuesday.gif etc

 */



// Change to the location of the folder containing the images

$image_folder = "templates/bLock/rotating/";



// You do not need to edit below this line



$today = date('l');



if (file_exists($image_folder."/".$today.".gif")) {

  echo "<img src=\"$image_folder/".$today.".gif\">";

}

else {

  echo "No image was found for $today";

}



?>

This script selects the image from a folder like Monday.gif Tuesday.gif, I wanted to have multi images for that day.Would it be possible to instead of select from one folder it can select from 7 diff ones named /Monday Tuesday/ ect... so that I can upload the pictures i would like to appear on a specific day to its respective folder.

Another problem is the date,it uses the servers date and not mine. Is there anyway I could specify it to get the date from a time server like time.microsoft.com ?

Thanks for your help
