<?php
/*
Random image display

This script will read all images from a folder and read the files into an array.
It uses rand() to get a random number. It will display a random image from the image folder given.

The check for whether it is an image or not is made by checking the file's extension.

Programmed by Christian Haensel on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2007.

This script may be redistributed, altered and whatnot. Please, if you like it and/or find it useful, link back to me.
