Using PHP for random image on HOME PAGE

[AntoineArt]

After many months of wondering how and even after making a few failed attempts, I have finally learned how to load a random image using PHP -Thanks to kirupa's excellent article (http://www.kirupa.com/web/random_image.php) *doing my happy dance!* :chinaman:
Here it is exactly as I wanted: http://www.antoineart.com/index.php (first image)

BUT NOW: How do I get that onto my home page (AntoineArt.com)? In order for that page to display as my home page I need to name it index.html... but if I change the .php to .html the code does not work anymore :diss:

Advice would be appreciated!

It doesn't have to be index.html. index.php can be your home page... just delete the index.html and voila.

you can use .htaccess file.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
use above code in .htaccess file. then you can use html files as php file.

^ That too, but its extremely useless.

Excellent, thank you! Can't wait to go and give it a shot.

can you link these random images?

Yes, using an associated array. The link array index positions MUST correspond to the image files array index position.

$file_array = array
('http://www.kirupa.com/me/footer/footer_home.gif',
'http://www.kirupa.com/me/footer/footer_mit.gif',
'http://www.kirupa.com/me/footer/footer_music.gif',
'http://www.kirupa.com/me/footer/footer_music2.gif',
'http://www.kirupa.com/me/footer/footer_tv.gif',
'http://www.kirupa.com/me/footer/footer_orange.gif',
'http://www.kirupa.com/me/footer/footer_game.gif');

ADD THIS WITH YOUR LINKS

$link_array = array
{ 'http://www.kirupa.com/forum/link1.php',
'http://www.kirupa.com/forum/link2.php',
'http://www.kirupa.com/forum/link3.php',
'http://www.kirupa.com/forum/link4.php',
'http://www.kirupa.com/forum/link5.php',
'http://www.kirupa.com/forum/link1.php',
'http://www.kirupa.com/forum/link1.php',};

Then directly under this line:
$file = "$file_array[$random]";
type this:
$link = "$link_array[$random]";

Then you would change this:
print("<img src=$file></a>");

TO

print("<a href=$link><img src=$file /></a>");
