PHP Error Please Help!!!!

Anon

Why would I be getting this error in the code below?

Warning: srand() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\hraashf\includes\header2.inc on line 16

<?
$Array[0] = "images/random/erving.jpg";
$Array[1] = "images/random/faison.jpg";
$Array[2] = "images/random/stephenson.jpg";
$Array[3] = "images/random/vick.jpg";

srand(microtime());
$value = rand(0,3);
?>

Thanks is advance

I ran that code and it didn't complain - and I have error_reporting set to E_ALL.

So what does that mean. If it is not working on mine is there anything I can do?

Thanks

http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/function.microtime.php

quote regarding the MicroTime() function "This function is only available on operating systems that support the gettimeofday() system call."

Since the error says the path is "c:\inetpub\wwwroot..." I assume you are running on some flavor of Windows like 2000. I cant test this right now but I would suspect that gettimeofday() is not a supported system call on Windows OS's"

Hope that helps,
Richard

I have ftp'd it up to the server and I don't get an error, now my images do not rotate. The same image stays there.

Please take a look. Why wouldn't this rotate the upper right image.
