I have a joomla site and I was trying to setup a rotating image based on timing NOT just refreshing the page.
I found this code (i didn't write it) which works to load images but does not switch them with timing. Can someone help me so that it will rotate a new image from the folder every 8 seconds?
<?php /* By Matt Mullenweg > http://photomatt.net Inspired by Dan Benjamin > http://hiveware.com/imagerotator.php Latest version always at: http://photomatt.net/scripts/randomimage */// Make this the relative path to the images, like "../img" or "random/images/". // If the images are in the same directory, leave it blank. $folder = '';
// Space seperated list of extensions, you probably won't have to change this. $exts = 'jpg jpeg png gif';
$files = array(); $i = -1; // Initialize some variables if ('' == $folder) $folder = './';
$handle = opendir($folder); $exts = explode(' ', $exts); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { foreach($exts as $ext) { // for each extension check the extension if (preg_match('/.'.$ext.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive $files[] = $file; // it’s good ++$i; } } } closedir($handle); // We’re not using it anymore mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2 $rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along
