RE: [PHP] how to select a file on a random basis?

Well there's a couple ways you could do this...it's too early in the morning to post code but with some quick searches in the manual you should find all you need. The most dynamic way to do this is to grab all the filenames in the directory you want, then randomize the array using shuffle....then use the first cell value in the array. If you don't understand what I'm suggesting just lmk =) I'll try explaining in better detail when I'm more awake hehe. Sincerely, Craig Vincent
