Hi, I have not done much Googling yet... thought I would ask here before I spend a bunch of time searching for some guidance... What would be the best function set for on-the-fly image manipulation (specifically image rotation?) Is it easily done? Possible? Worth the trouble? Any links and/or guidance would be appreciated (hopefully the answer is not a blatantly obvious RTFM.) :)

It is. http://www.php.net/image There's even a function to do the rotations for you http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagerotate.php

If you actually want to load a different image each time, start with php.net/rand Perhaps the image names could be integer based, or you could oad the image paths into an array and use rand to select based on a numeric key. Or you could store the image paths in a mysql database and use mysql's RAND to select an image path for display.

The OP mentioned image manipulation, hence the pointer to the manual about editing images.. It's always interesting to see so many interpretations of the one thing :) -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
