Download link over random php image












0















I am displaying a number of random images from a folder, however I'm not very good with PHP (Code sourced from the internet), how would I go about having a "download" link display on top of the image?



Display random image from folder using PHP:



function random_image($directory)
{
$leading = substr($directory, 0, 1);
$trailing = substr($directory, -1, 1);

if($leading == '/')
{
$directory = substr($directory, 1);
}
if($trailing != '/')
{
$directory = $directory . '/';
}

if(empty($directory) or !is_dir($directory))
{
die('Directory: ' . $directory . ' not found.');
}

$files = scandir($directory, 1);

$make_array = array();

foreach($files AS $id => $file)
{
$info = pathinfo($dir . $file);

$image_extensions = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png', 'ico');
if(!in_array($info['extension'], $image_extensions))
{
unset($file);
}
else
{
$file = str_replace(' ', '%20', $file);
$temp = array($id => $file);
array_push($make_array, $temp);
}
}

if(sizeof($make_array) == 0)
{
die('No images in ' . $directory . ' Directory');
}

$total = count($make_array) - 1;

$random_image = rand(0, $total);
return $directory . $make_array[$random_image][$random_image];

}


Markup:



echo "<img src=" . random_image('css/images/avatars') . " />";


I've tried looking around google for an answer but I can't find anything, any help would be appreciated

  • You just make a link with the same URL as the image. Like, <a> instead of <img>.

You should save the image location in a variable then use it to create a link, plus display it.



$imageUrl = random_image('css/images/avatars');
echo "<a href=" . $imageUrl . ">";
echo "<img src=" . $imageUrl . " />";
echo "</a>";


or if you want to show the text link above, seperately then



$imageUrl = random_image('css/images/avatars');
echo "<a href=" . $imageUrl . ">Click Here</a><br />";
echo "<img src=" . $imageUrl . " />";
