Fun! Boo hoo Earthlink doesn’t support php on my personal site…but the DO on my webhosted site, so it took a while, but I FINALLY got a test page to work…
at first it was showing the same image all the time, but after adding the following line before the other 2 lines, to seed the random number generator for mt_rand(), it started generating randomly like it should:

Now all I have to do is figure out where exactly I want to use this, other than on a test page! (:

And now I know NOT to include the greater than/less than symbols surrounding code when posting comments.

Here is the code I used to seed the random number generator:

?php mt_srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);?

Question: How do you force line breaks and paragraph breaks within comments? BR didn’t work but maybe P, or P then BR will – I’ll try it now.

Here is that line of seed code again:

If it doesn’t work…oops…sorry for the multiple posts to post 1 comment!!! After this, I’ll call it a night. (:

Well…maybe 1 more post, because the P worked! but I forgot to remove the less than/greater than symbols when I pasted the code, so just one more post tonight – PROMISE!!!

It’s a little tricky to get code to display, you actually have to type

<?php some code;?>

to display

And for the paragraphs and breaks, just put a blank line between the two lines in the comments box. The comments work kind of like email.
