I am trying to implement a code to embed random image in php mail body and images are in a directory

Question

I am trying to implement a code to embed random image in php mail body and images are in a directory. I have tried with html tag.But it is not working because images are not in http location. Images are in server location, not in client location.Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

you can simply use the glob function which searches for all the pathnames matching pattern, which get all files from directory and then using rand function you can simply select any random image out of it.

function random_pic($dir = 'images')
{
$files = glob($dir . '/*.jpg');
$file = array_rand($files);
return $files[$file];
}

Answer 2

simply save your all images on server in a publicly accessible folder, let say on the same directory where your index.php lies, then it can be displayed in mail body.
