Hi All

I'm new to this list and I suppose fairly new to PHP - and hope that
this question is in keeping with the type of thing that's usually asked.

I'm trying to dynamically randomise a chunk of HTML that is used on a
page, aka  random image, so that each time a client opens the page [or
refreshes] a part of the page changes.  

The chunks of HTML are saved in their own directory as .htm files.  I
was hoping to adapt the following code I have managed to cobble together
to display random images:

<?php
// images in folder
$total = "5";

// file type
$file_type = ".htm, .gif, .jpg";

// dir location
$image_folder = "dir/dir";

$start = "1";

$random = mt_rand($start, $total);

$image_name = $random . $file_type;

// print file name
// echo "$image_name";

// display image
// echo "<img src=\"$image_folder/$image_name\" alt=\"$image_name\" />";

?>

I'd like the code to take the HTML and place it in a <div></div>,
probably using a <?php require (""); ?> (I think I'm OK with this once
the code is sorted).  

However - I don't seem to be able to progress any further with this -
I'm sure I'm missing something very basic - but I just can't get past
this point.

I'd be grateful for any pointers with this.

TIA
ange
