Random Image Script Shows Same Image Multiple Times

[Bob_Sageton]

Hi, I have what I think is a basic problem that I've come across a few times. I'm using this random image script that simply grabs one of the images from a specified directory and then displays it (I didn't write it myself). The problem is that if I try to use the script more than once on the same page load, it displays the same image every time. I just would like to know how I can make it pick randomly for each instance on a page. The script is here: http://www.alistapart.com/d/randomizer/rotate.txt

Thanks in advance!

You could use a database to store the urls then use the MySQL rand function that you can use as many times in one page without a duplication. The url's could be automatically added with a file upload form. Personally an easier and more flexiable solution.
