randomized header image
-
I am having trouble setting up a randomized header image.
I copied:
#header {
background: url(“/headers/rotate.php”)
no-repeat bottom center; }into my style.css file in the Theme Editor page in my dashboard and updated file.
then I pasted:
<img src=”/headers/rotate.php” alt=”A Random Header Image” />
into my header.php file in the theme editor and updated the file.
I created a file called rotate.php with the following code:
<?php

*/// 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); // $i was incremented as we went alongheader(‘Location: ‘.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!
and uploaded this to the folder /headers/ where I also uploaded several jpg files.
I am seeing A Random Header Image appear at the top of my blog, but no images. what am I missing here? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
thanks!
