Woot. finally got it to work. I don't know how it's any different from yours, but it works!

I'm still getting nothing. Here's my code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 2.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en">

<?php
    function randImage() {
        $number = rand(1,5);
        echo "<img src=\"http://madclassifieds.000k.net/zap/imgs/headers/header\" . $number . \".png\" />";
}

?>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title>zap graphics | pixel graphics that spark! | for the byond gaming system</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
</head>

<body>
<div id="wrap">

	<div id="nav">
		<span class="bold">spark!</span>
		<ul>
		<li><a href="#" class="small">front</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">contact</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">work</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">about</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>

	<div id="header">
		<a href="index.html">
		<?php 
        randImage(); 
        ?>
		</a>
	</div>

is there any way to make it choose words too?

This is a very simple method I use for displaying random images

<?php

function randImage() {
    \\ 3 is the number of images I have starting at 0
    $number = rand(0,3);
    \\ path to images
    echo "<img src=\"images/image" . $number . ".png\">";
}

?>

'
Just call the function from where you want the image to display, remember they must all be named correctly (image0.png, image1.png etc)

Still nothing

Try using an internal path to the file rather than a http url.

It would be nice to see the PHP code, not just a link to the file. If you're on Apache you might try saving copies of your .php files with the extension .phps. You can link to these files, and they'll display with syntax highlighting and all.

I'm guessing you have a path or permission problem. Let's see the code and file vitals.
