One way,
use cfdirectory to get a query recordset of all the images you want to
rotate
then get the total recordcount from the cfdirectory query, use the random
function to get a random number the access the query record set as an Array
and get the record and fields that you need....No database needed and should
still be pretty quick....

Subject: dynamically serving images
Okay, so I have a directory full of images that are all the same size, and I
want to display them in some pseudo-random order, so that you don't see the
same one every time you hit the page containing them...
Heres what I have figured out:
make a series of includes to point to each image
<image_01.inc>
<a href="http://www.blah.com">blah.jpg</a>
Now i need to figure out how to loop through the list of available
includes and pick one at random. Any ideas?
