How to Output Images using PHP?

By Linda Chadbourne | December 8th, 2008 |

Recently Jason posed a question in the PHP Forum which stated:

What I want to do is use a stylesheet to link to a php file.

background:url(images/layout/pic.php);

/images/layout/pic.php

What the pic.php has to do is identify all png/gif/jpg files in the layout directory, create an array of file names, then randomly output one of these images. I am pretty sure I can identify the files in the directory, create an array and randomly select one. It’s the final part which I don’t know how to do. How do I output the image?

Oh and can CSS actually do this?

This first part will show you how to create a grunge-style blog in Adobe Photoshop. Then a second part will follow that will show you how to slice the site in HTML/CSS. The third and final part will show you how to implement that code in Wordpress.
