Help reqd with random request

[Anon]

i think i got the wrong forum last time...

Hi, i'm new to PHP and have been using some of the pre-made scripts available. the one in question is a simple random image displayer. after much head-banging i managed to get it to pick a gif at random from a selection, but i want/need it to do something a little more and i am now stuck....

below is the command that works: (this is only a part of the script)

$include0 = "http://www.cgbnet.co.uk/images/cgbnetlogo.gif";

if ($randomnumber== "0") {
include ("$include0");

That should give you an idea of where it's coming from, now what i need it to do is pick a image from a random list of url's that also use a cgi script to pick a random image.

e.g

$include0 = "http://domain.com/cgi-bin/rand.cgi?id=1234";

but it won't return an image.

any ideas? or is what i'm trying to do imposible?

Many thanks

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but what are you trying to do with the include() function?
Shouldn't you be using a simple HTML IMG tag to display the random image?

<IMG SRC="<? echo $include0; ?>">

the code is to select the random image
