i have tried this code which works fine on my testing server, but when i upload to the server which runs php 4.2.2, it only returns the same image. what could be causing this?

thanks in advance

<head>
<title>Test Array</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<?php
$images = array('images/layout/title01.gif', 'images/layout/title02.gif',
                'images/layout/title03.gif', 'images/layout/title04.gif',
	    		'images/layout/title05.gif', 'images/layout/title06.gif',

srand ((float)microtime()*1000000);
shuffle ($images);

Looks ok...
Why don't you try [man]array_rand[/man]?

right gonna try this, whats the message about not needing to srand no more, i tried using rand and got Warning: rand() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given in , could this be causing a problem?

<?php
srand((float) microtime() * 10000000);
$images = array('images/layout/titleLemon.gif', 'images/layout/titleEgg.gif',
                'images/layout/titleMonkey.gif', 'images/layout/titleDandy.gif',
	    		'images/layout/titleGoose.gif', 'images/layout/titleBruce.gif',
				'images/layout/titleEye.gif','images/layout/titleFreak.gif');
$rand_keys = array_rand($images, 2);
echo '<img src="'.$images[$rand_keys[0]] .'">';
?>

Using array_rand will do the randomization for you, so your srand line is not needed anymore.

The error message is if you were using jusr rand(not srand), it would require a min and a max value to be passed to it.
