if thats the case, why not generate one more random number ?

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
	$arr=array();
	for($i=0;$i<7;$i++){
		$arr[$i]="./img/images/".$i.".jpg";
	}
	$random=rand(0,6);
	$random_1=rand(0,6);
		echo "<img src=".$arr[$random].">";
		echo "<img src=".$arr[$random_1].">";
?>
<?php
	$arr=array();
	for($i=0;$i<7;$i++){
		$arr[$i]="./img/images/".$i.".jpg";
	}
	$random=rand(0,6);
	$random_1=rand(0,6);
		echo "<img src=".$arr[$random].">";
		echo "<img src=".$arr[$random_1].">";
?>

This will do.. Don't you think ?

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

that looks like it could do the trick with abit of working... basically....

i want there to be a folder of images... the names of those images could be anything at all.... number letters.. mixtures... there will be no logical order to them..... i just need the code to randomly pick say 10 images... out of that folder... no image being displayed twice etc...

if there isnt enough ... say there is 4 images.. it will just display 4

if there is no images... maybe just a statement showing there is no images to display at this time...

Hi, I am fairly new to web design and am trying to do exactly what you helped the other person on this post do, is there any way I could also get ahold of that code? I would be very grateful. Thanx.
