Hey guys.<br /><br />I am looking for a script of some kind that would display a random pic from the bunch of pics on my page for me.<br /><br />Trick is, i need it to pick ANY picture (No spcial naming convention) from given folder AND have ability to go into foders within, looking for more pictures. Follow me? Not sure i am clear.<br /><br />Basicly i need it to display all and any picture (Say all .JPG) from this folder even if there are other folders with pictures inside main folder.<br /><br />I found some scripts but none of them seems to be able to do what i need it to.<br /><br />Anyone?<br /><br />Eugene<!--content-->

Yes, good script, thanx.<br /><br />But it do not look like it would go into additional folders inside of main folder. Or will it?<br /><br />Eugene<!--content-->
