Can anyone tell me where I am wrong? I'm totally new at this. I took this code from SPeedY_B's source with his permission. The problem is that the images aren't loading.
 
I'm going to use it on my site. Is that what you ask for?
 
I don't know if I'm supposed to post this :p but here's the source.

what does the php code output? this line

print "<img src=\"images/logos/$file\" alt=\"loading\" class=\"noborder\" title=\"bk.ganai.com\" />";

My cousin told me about it. :p
We'll talk about that later.

What do you mean by that?
 
I mean when you load the webpage what is the output of the code; i.e.

<img src="images/logos/somepic.jpg" alt="loading" class="noborder" title="bk.ganai.com" />
 
It's this, I think:

<img src="images/logos/logo.jpg" height="203px" width="700px" alt="bk.ganai.com logo"/>
 
PHP: 
<?php
// Random image selector
srand( time() );
$files = array();
if ($dir = @opendir("./images/logos/")) {
 while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
  if ( eregi( '.(jpeg)$', $file ) ) {
   $files[] = $file;
  }
 }
closedir($dir);
}
$file = $files[rand() % sizeof( $files )];
print "<img src=\"./images/logos/$file\" alt=\"loading\" title=\"bk.ganai.com\" />";
?>

That should work?

Also as j79zlr said, transitional doesn't exist, and get rid of all those keywords in the meta tag, they actually don't help search engines (decent ones) seeing as your page is scanned for it's content rather than the meta tags.. it's far too easy to lie about content in meta tags ;)
 
What i meant is, that i want a page to go to to see the code it generates so that we can see the output of the script, misspelled variables and whatnot can screw it up./

Also, your host has to support PHP.

I will remove those tags soon. Would it matter if I change jpeg to jpg?

My host does support PHP. Here's the page. Hope it helps.
http://bk.ganai.com/test/main.html
 
Doh, try using main.php not main.html :p
 
Yeah, change it to jpg.. that may be your problem as it's outputting

Code: 
<img src="images/logos/" alt="loading" class="noborder" title="bk.ganai.com" />

lacking the file.
 
well its working, but its not. :)

Try this

PHP: 
print "<img src=\"images/logos/" . $file . "\" alt=\"loading\" class=\"noborder\" title=\"bk.ganai.com\" />";
 
The print part works (I have it on my page) however its searching for .jpeg files, and bk has (I gather) .jpg... so I'm guessing he needs to just change that part.
 
ok, last post :D

you need to change the images/logos to point to the doc root, since you are in ./main, and your jpegs are jpg's

PHP: 
<?php
// Random image selector
srand( time() );
$files = array();
if ($dir = @opendir("./images/logos/")) {
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
  if ( eregi( '.(jpg)$', $file ) ) {
   $files[] = $file;
  }
}
closedir($dir);
}
$file = $files[rand() % sizeof( $files )];
print "<img src=\"/images/logos/$file\" alt=\"loading\" title=\"bk.ganai.com\" />";
?>
 
Just that or should I replace that line with the old one?
 
I'm not sure if the variable is parsed in print, with the above, if that doesn't work, replace with

PHP: 
print "<img src=\"/images/logos/" . $file . "\" alt=\"loading\" class=\"noborder\" title=\"bk.ganai.com\" />";

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
