I have this gallery rotator script but I don't know how to call it from my page.
What should I write on my page to get link to a random gallery??
Here is the script:

random.php
-----------------------------------------------
<?
$delim = "\n";
$cryfile = "galleries.txt";
$fp = fopen($cryfile, "r");
$contents = fread($fp, filesize($cryfile));
$cry_arr = explode($delim,$contents);
fclose($fp);
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$cry_index = (rand(1, sizeof($cry_arr)) - 1);
$herecry = $cry_arr[$cry_index];
echo $herecry;
?>
-----------------------------------------------

galleries.txt
-----------------------------------------------
<a href="gallery1.url">Gallery 1 Description</a>
<a href="gallery2.url">Gallery 2 Description</a>
<a href="gallery3.url">Gallery 3 Description</a>
etc...
-----------------------------------------------

<? include ("file.php"); ?>

Unless something has drastically changed over the past 3 years.

and make sure the page you are calling it from is named something.php

you can't call php from an html page

i made that mistake the first time, took me 2 hours to figure out what I was doing wrong

You can with a very small change to apache or sometimes htaccess. It can be very useful sometimes.

Depends on the usage. Sometimes naming the file php can cause problems and it's not a hard thing to do even for 'normal' folks. It'd only be difficult on some virtual accounts where the htaccess is restrictive.

nothing has changed, good call

I always recommend making a simple change to apache to run PHP in .html files. You simply add the line "AddType application/x-httpd-php .html" in your httpd.conf file. If you wanna get real crazy, you can make your php files appear as HTML files (i.e. Don't output the PHP header on PHP processed pages) by setting "expose_php = Off" in your php.ini file. Good thing to do for gallery makers!
