Rotating Sig Images?

I've got access to php-enabled image hosting, so I know I can accomplish this. However, it involves scripting that is beyond my meager comprehension. I've googled the subject but remain confused; most available rotation scripts assume you know how they operate, whereas I'm admittedly not smart in this area.

Could someone please explain the process in enough detail that I might be able to do it myself and learn the processes better?

I've already got the images uploaded to a directory. Do they all need to be contained in one folder? I'm not 100% sure on that part.

Thanks for any help.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This may be something I'm capable of too, and could grant to others by request if I knew how.

I'll have to probe deeper into this matter.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Its pretty simply. The premise is this:

You're sig links to the PHP script. The script, in turn, reads a directory of images into an array. It then generates a random number (you can seed with the system clock) and picks that offset in the array. The rest is emitting the MIME headers and then the image data. If you do a bit of googling, you can find numerous sample PHP scripts for rotating images in this fashion. I wrote one myself years ago, and I'm sure its buried somewhere in the depths of my drive but I can't be bothered to look for it...
Which is exactly what I've done, and still no image appears. I've tested each individual image url, so I know they're all functional. It's something server-side here and if you don't have a Bachelor's in coding, you are evidently up a certain creek without paddles.

I may give the link Aardark posted a try, though I'm concerned it won't be able to house the number of images I wanted to use.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
