Put twenty images in a folder, name them 1-20.gif
Call your image like...

<img src="random_image_folder/<? echo rand(1,20); ?>.gif" width="100" height="100">

I think 😃

try this and tell tell me what you think . I wrote it a long time ago, but it worked for me.

<?php 

/*

## written by webmaster_at_flipsource.org 
## this is a very easy script, fill out a few config variables and you're ready to go 
## save the file as "randimage.php" 
## use the following line to produce your image: 

<?php include("randimage.php") ?> 

*/ 

//*********************** START CONFIGURATION **************************// 

$imgdir = "/web/graphics";        #path to image directory from root 
$full_image_URL = "http://yourdomain.com/graphics";        #URL of image directory (NO terminating slash!) 

$r_width = "";     #width in pixels you want pictures to be (leave blank for actual size) 

$caption = "place caption here";     #alternate caption for image - NO double quotes, use \"   

$r_link = "";         #if you want to hyperlink the image to something, put the COMPLETE URL here 

//list acceptable extensions (as many as you'd like) 
$okextensions = array("gif", "jpg", "png", "xpm", "bmp");

$imgarray = array(); 
$dir1 = dir($imgdir);
while($i = $dir1->read()) {
		$this_ext = (substr($i, -3));
		if(in_array($this_ext, $okextensions)) {  

        	$imgarray[] = $i;     } 
		}

srand((float)microtime()*1000000);
$imgcount = count($imgarray); 
$imgnum = rand(1, $imgcount);  

$fixcaption = stripslashes($caption);  

$imgname = $imgarray[$imgnum];  

$randimg = $full_image_URL."/".$imgname;  

if ($r_link != "") { 
echo "<a href=\"$r_link\">"; } 
echo "<img src=\"$randimg\" alt=\"$fixcaption\" "; 
if (!empty($r_width)) { 
echo "width=$r_width "; }

$files = array("img1.gif", "dragon.gif", "elfe.img", "prout.img", "mario.gif"); // put all the filenames of the images in this array
$cfile = $files[rand(0, count($files) - 1)];
$fp = fopen($cfile, "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize($cfile));
fclose($fp);
header("Content-Type: image/gif\n");
echo $content;

Of course, if you add files with another extension that gif, you should change the content-type. If you use many extensions, you should write a couple of if statements...

What the script does it choosing a filename randomly, open it, printing its contents...
