The easiest way I can think of would be to get a random number based on
the size of an array. If you're querying your database and filling an
array with all images, just use the database's random routine instead.
(I.E. "SELECT quote,author from randomQuote ORDER by RAND() LIMIT 1" in
mysql)
If this isn't the case, something like this should work..
srand(time());
$random=rand(0,sizeof($myVar)-1);
Hope I could be of some help...
