$dir = exec('pwd');
$open_dir = opendir("$dir");
//Add or remove files extensions to suit your needs.
//Notice that the extensions are in upper and lower case.
$image_ext_array = array(
"jpg",
"jpeg",
"gif",
"png",
"JPG",
"JPEG",
"GIF",
"PNG",
);
$image_files = array();
if(!$open_dir){
die("can not $dir");
}
else{
while(false !== ($file = readdir($open_dir))){
$ext = explode(".", "$file");
if(in_array($ext[1], $image_ext_array)){
$image = "$ext[0]" . "." . "$ext[1]";
array_push($image_files, $image);
}
}
//If the PHP server is less that 4.2.0 the SRAND function is needed.
//srand((float) microtime() * 10000000);
$show_img = array_rand($image_files);
//Optional: use the HEADER function to prevent the browser from caching the html content and image.
//This is most use full when using the HEADER function to display the image
//header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
//header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
//header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, private, max-age=0, proxy-revalidate, no-transform");
//header ("Pragma: no-cache");
//header("Vary: User-Agents");
//Edit the image ALT field to suit your needs.
$image_alt = "FreshSoftware 1-866-343-3343";
$image_location = $dir . "/" . $image_files[$show_img];
$image_width = getimagesize($image_location);
$image_height = getimagesize($image_location);
//USE the ECHO function to display HTML Code.
//echo "<img src=\"$image_files[$show_img]\" width=\"$image_width[0]\" height=\"$image_height[1]\" alt=\"$image_alt\">";
//The HEADER function often times fails to rotate an image when refreshing a browser.
//header("location: http://freshsoftware-internal.net/images/advertisments/freshsoftware/$image_files[$show_img]");
//Recommended. These three lines make use of the FPASSTHRUE function.
$open_image = fopen($image_location, 'rb');
fpassthru($open_image);
fclose($open_image);
closedir($open_dir);
