Since i was looking for the random image snippet for my site, and the one posted here
did not work in the index.php of my template i went searching for another. With some google job and php knowledge of myself i managed to modify an existing code and i did a test on my websites and it did work 100%!
Go to the page were you want your image, i assume some were in the index.php of your template folder. Paste the following code there.
<?php
// Total images that are in the folder set below
$total = "11";
// The file type you want to use
$file_type = ".jpg";
// The location of your random images
$image_folder = "../media/random";
// No editing needed below this
$start = "1";
$random = mt_rand($start, $total);
$image_name = $random . $file_type;
echo "<img src=\"$image_folder/$image_name\" alt=\"$image_name\" />";
?>
Remember to name your images as: 1.gif - 2.gif and so on, or 1.jpg - 2.jpg and so on.
You can also make a different php page like randomimage.php and use the include function, but i didn't test that.
Just using the code above in your index.php of your template should do the job.
Comments are always welcome!

How can I get this with out border and automatic random?
Border is controlled via CSS. Just style the IMG tag, or whatever tag you are referring to, without a border.
I don't know what you mean by without automatic random since this is a random image snippet.
Thx 4 sharing your work Bramus!
I had a problem with sub-menus and/or multilanguage versions of websites.
Easy fix for it with the Template_dir function of wbb.
<?php
$total = "6";
$file_type = ".jpg";
$dir = TEMPLATE_DIR; // get template-dir
$image_folder = "img/random";
$start = "1";
$random = mt_rand($start, $total);
$image_name = $random . $file_type;
$filename = "$image_folder/$image_name";
print "<img src=\"$dir/$image_folder/$image_name\" />";
?>
