Displaying Images At Random From SQL Query String
I have a database of images with captions that I need to display at random on an ASP page. Once I have pulled out my recordset, what's the best way to select on item at random from the recordset to display? Also, at first I might have only 5 items in my recordset, how can I avoid the same item repeating 3 times in a row if the person clicks refresh?

However, what I want to do is include a request.querystring("ID"), so that IF an ID is defined, eg ID=3, , it will display the relevant (not random) information. I've tried this every way I can think and get type mismatches, etc etc. It's probably really simple but I can't see it.
<%
limit=3
redim link(limit)
redim image (limit)
link(1)="xxx"
image(1)="image1.jpg"
link(2)="xxx"
image(2)="image2.jpg"
link(3)="xxx"
image(3)="image3.jpg"
randomize
random=int(rnd*limit)+1
%>
<center>
<a href="<%= link(random) %>">
<img src="<%= image(random) %>" border="0"></a>

Is it possible to select random images from a directory without creating a "library"
As in I want to have a directory with 25 or so images and want to randomly select an image without having to change the txt document when I add new images.

I come from a PHP background. I'm modifying a client site that uses some critical ASP code in the backend, so for simple frontend stuff I need to use it too!
I need to make sure that certain images from a random rotation only appear on certain sections of the site licensing issues. Is there any way to easily grab the name of the file that's currently loaded? I want to run some form of regex on it to check for certain words.

I have a bit of a problem.
Basically I have a homepage, when the page loads up it will display images.
However, the images are dived into three groups, as seen below.
Group1 - Image1, Image2, Image3
Group2 - Image4, Image5, Image6
Group3 - Image7, Image8, Image9
What I want is that every time when someone enters the front page, it should pick a group and display that particular set of images on the homepage.

I'm trying to have my program randomly select one of five images. I think my syntax is correct (that is it isn't giving my any error messages and the page loads with the image being replaced by a broken link 'X' box), but I don't know how to display the image to the screen.
Should the response.redirect part automatically display it to the screen or should I have it in some tag like <td><img scr ="lrandom"></td> within my table?
<% dim array(5)
randomize
array(1)="img1.gif"
array(2)="img2.gif"
array(3)="img3.gif"
array(4)="img4.gif"
array(5)="img5.gif"
upperbound=ubound(array)
lowerbound=0
lrandom = Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * rnd + lowerbound)
response.redirect "images/" & (Array(lrandom))
%>

response.write FilePath gives this path, ImageName.jpeg but the image(s)
doesn't display in the below code. What am I missing..? Cheers.
<%Response.Write FilePath%>
Original Image:<BR>
<IMG SRC="<%=Server.MapPath("ImageUploads") & FilePath%>"><P>
Thumbnail (50% reduction):<BR>
<IMG SRC="<%=Server.MapPath("ImageUploadsThumbsThumb") & FilePath%>">
The files definitely exist in the database.

I have created a table that I need to display images on.so its 3 images across and how ever rows down. but I need to do this dynamically.what I have at the moment is a standard recordset, it will display the 3 recordsets left to right, once reaches 3, then drops a line and carries on.
But this isn't working properly.as its calling the images directly instead of from the database.Can someone let me know how I can display images 3 x ~until the recordset goes EOF/BOF

Have two folders on my web server, data and public. Public is the www root and is read only, data has my database and is read/write.
I've got an asp upload script sending image files to data/images which works fine. I've also got a file listbox which picks out the file names on an asp script to add the names of the files to a database table.
However...I'm having real problem pulling the images out on the gallery page, I reference them with a virtual path '../data/images/imagename.jpg' etc, but they will not show.
Anybody know a way round this? Sorry if you need more info just say.

I am building a website where users can place advertisements with images. I have decided to place the images in an Access database to ensure the right images are matched the correct advertisements. My problem is that I can retrieve all of the data from the table which holds the photos (eg, filename, file size, content type) except for the actual photo itself. When I try to download the photo or press the hyperlink to display the photo all I get is the square with the red cross. I do not get any error messages.
Does anyone know why this is happening. My code is below:

I am trying to display images on a results page which have been saved in a Access database as BLOBS. I also trying to resize the images at the same time so that each record on the results page has the same dimensions. I have 2 include files on the webpage to resize the images, a processing ASP page to download the images and the syntax to make it all work.
My problem is that I am new at ASP programming and having the problem of putting all of the pieces together. I keep on getting an error message on 1 particular line and have no idea on how to fix it after many hours of trying different ideas. Code:

I have a database that I am storing image URLs in. On the website, when you go to a project my work has done, if there is more than one image, it displays a next (and previous link) link where necessary. However, if I have 10 or more images, it does not display at all.
I think I've realized this is not the best way to do this, but this is how the database is set up: name, description, image01, image02, ... , image11. Each one is its own column.
Thanks to photoshop_god I have a code that does the next and previous links. But it is not displaying any images but the first one if there are 10 or more. Here is my code:

With the website i'm developing, the user can upload images and the filename is saved to a mysql db, the problem is displaying these images. If i use the servers local path i.e. "C:InetpubwwwrootIMGimage.jpg" then the page just displays the little box with a square, circle and triangle in it, that usually displays while an image is loading. If i use "http://localhost/IMG/image.jpg" then when i load the page i get the "connect to the server:type name & password" box popping up...
I've set the permissions so that an Internet guest has read & write permissions to the IMG folder so I don't understand why it's not just displaying the images.

I have a page that allows someone to upload an image, and then the image is displayed on another page. Unfortunately, When the permissions are set to allow the photo to be uploaded, it won't allow it to display on the other page. When I change the permissions so that you can't upload an image, it will display on the other page. The page in question is http://www.atlantatoysfortots.com/Pictures.asp I'm at a complete loss. Is there anyone out there that knows enough to make this stupid thing work? I have checked every page and they are good....site is hosted on GoDaddy.

If I m using a simple code like this;

While using this code "Images" is an array..(a collection of imagesname from the table "Product" whose status is 1). Now I have to use first 4 images at a time among these collection of Images in the different specific locations in a page in the same time.

I need to be able to create some license keys for an application. Ideally
these wouldn't be too long in length (ie, easier to remember/type in), but I
would like them to be auto generated and a check made to see whether or not
that key has already been used, something which could generate up to about
10000 keys (or more if the string doesnt have to be too long) would be very
useful.
A combination of letters, numbers, upper and lower case is needed.
I could sit here and start plugging away at this, an array for numbers, an
array for letters, a random test for uppercase/lowercase etc, but it occured
to me that I'm probably just reinventing the wheel a bit here, someone must
have done this before!
Has anyone produced anything similar to this in the past?

I have the following function which generates random strings:
function GenerateRandomStr(nLen, skipRandomize)
dim i, strTmp
if not skipRandomize then Randomize
strTmp = vbNullString
for i = 1 to nLen
strTmp = strTmp + Chr(fix(26 * Rnd) + 65)
next
GenerateRandomStr = strTmp
end function
But it is so happening that it is generating duplicate string which is causing the system to fail. Can anyone tell me why it is behaving in that way??

just manged to get an image retireval search engine working. The ASP script works fine, my query results are filepaths of images.
i structured a query in within asp to obtain images which have similar textual values. It is more of a cosmetic issue. when i get my query results back, my script prints or displays the images from top to bottom. which means i have to scroll vertically up and down the asp page over 10-30 images. Code:
