specifically in a php block of simple portal 2.3.5 in Simple Machines Forum 2.0.7.

I want to display a random image from a folder.

Code:



$dir = 'http://mywebsite.com/random';
$images = glob($dir. '*.{jpg,jpeg,png,gif}', GLOB_BRACE);
$randomImage = $images[array_rand($images)];

echo '';

?>

Huh. The inequality brackets apparently work even when in a code-box... the code that is not displayed is:
inequality-bracket img src="'.$dir.$randomImage.'" width=89 inequality-bracket

Meh. It only displays a missing image placeholder, not unlike the one echoing above

.

It's so simple... yet so not working.

Any help?

p.s. I couldn't post this subject line because it says no profanity...
"Any php gurus?"
LOL... what profanity? Is php so bad it's a three letter four-letter-word?

edit: oh...
