Random File

Version: 1.7.1 Retrieve the name, path, or link to a randomly chosen file or files in a specified directory.

Retrieve the name, path, or link to a randomly chosen file or files in a specified directory.

Useful for displaying random images/logos or including text from random files onto your site (writing excerpts, multi-line quotes, etc).

Notes:

  • If you want to actually display the name of the random file, be sure to 'echo' the results:
<?php echo c2c_random_file('/random'); ?>
  • Unless you limit the file search to only include a particular extension (via $extensions argument), all files in the specified $dir will be under consideration for random selection

  • Can be run inside or outside of "the loop"
