Random Image script gone crazy

ovisopa

Hello ppl,

I have a problem with a script which can display an random image or a swf from a directory.
I must tell from the start that if somebody has an script whih can do that and it's working properly, pls send it to me 'cause this script drive me CRAZYYYYYYY 🙁

The problem is :

1.if I insert a new swf in the directory I will see that the movie is not loaded.
2. If I rename one of the movies which are displaied properly I will see the same thing (the movie will not be loaded).
3.If I copy a movie which is well displaied and paste in the same directory but with other name I will find that the movie will be not loaded (the new one).
4. and this error i'm not sure if is because the random script. If I will overwrite a movie with a new one, the new movie will not be loaded.
* All the movies are the same dimensions W415 H60 and same version of flash, Flash5

If somebody can give me a better script I'll be verry glad. if not maybe you can look at the "problem script" 🙂

<?php
//read folder
$folder=opendir("random_banner");
while ($file = readdir($folder))
$names[count($names)] = $file;
closedir($folder);
//sort file names in array
sort($names);
//remove any non-images from array
$tempvar=0;
for ($i=0;$names[$i];$i++){
$ext=strtolower(substr($names[$i],-4));
if ($ext==".jpg"||$ext==".gif"||$ext=="jpeg"||$ext==".png"||$ext==".swf"){$names1[$tempvar]=$names[$i];$tempvar++;}
}
//random
srand ((double) microtime() * 10000000);
$rand_keys = array_rand ($names1, 2);
//random image from array
$slika=$names1[$rand_keys[0]];
//image dimensions
//$dimensions = GetImageSize($slika);
if (isset($pic)){header ("Location: $slika");}
else {echo "<embed src=\"$slika\" width=\"415\" height=\"60\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" swliveconnect=\"false\" menu=\"false\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\"></embed>";}
?>

First of all, I think there is an error with

for ($i=0;$names[$i];$i++){

You should write this :

for ($i = 0;$i < $names[$i];$i++){

Also, the variable $slika contains the filename, but it doesn't not seem to contain the directory (which is, in your script, "random_banner"). It should be something like this :

$slika = "./random_banner/" . $names1[$rand_keys[0]];

Did it help ?

10x for help but that didn't help, 🙁 ,
My script it's working but the problem is that I can't add other images, and the problems I told in my first post.

If I insert the lines you give me an errors apears:

Warning: Argument to array_rand() has to be an array in c:\program files\nusphere\apache\nsdocs\sibiul\php\random-banner.php on line 17

and no movie is loaded.

If you know other script for random images pls send me the url or the script if you can.

10x anyway and see ya

Oops !!

for ($i = 0;$i < $names[$i];$i++){

Should be

for ($i = 0;$i < $names;$i++){

      if (!is_dir($file)) {
	     $ext=strtolower(substr($file,-4));
         if ($ext==".jpg"||$ext==".gif"||$ext=="jpeg"||$ext==".png"||$ext==".swf") {
			$files[] = $file;
		 }
      }
   }  

   closedir($dir);
}
srand ((double)microtime()*1000000);
$randval = rand(0,count($files)-1);

if (isset($pic)){ // I don't know why, but its your if
   header ("Location: $files[$randval]");
} else {
   echo "<embed src=\"$files[$randval]\" width=\"415\" height=\"60\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" swliveconnect=\"false\" menu=\"false\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\"></embed>";

and made a small modification for swf movies, and now 10x to you it's working fine

<?
$dirname = "random_banner";
if ($dir = @opendir($dirname )) {
   while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
      if (!is_dir($file)) {
            $files[] = $file;
         }
      }
   }  

   closedir($dir);
srand ((double)microtime()*1000000);
$randval = rand(0,count($files)-1);
echo "<embed src=\"$dirname/$files[$randval]\" width=\"415\" height=\"60\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" swliveconnect=\"false\" menu=\"false\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\"></embed>";
