Display Images From A Folder (slideshow)

Question

I have been trying to google and find out how to make a .php script that will make a an automatic slideshow of images from a folder, I've only managed to get the pictures to automatically show up on the php page, but I can't figure out how to make them slide one by one, like a slideshow.

Here is the url to the page where the images show up, so you can have a look Here is the code I've used.

<?
$files = glob("images/*.*");
for ($i=0; $i<count($files); $i++)
{
    $num = $files[$i];
    echo '<img src="'.$num.'" alt="random image" />'."<br><br>";
}
?>

Do you know how to make this happen? Or another way to do it? easier way? Java/XML?

Solution

To affect the client side, you'll need to use JavaScript. PHP only echos out static content on the server.

Here is a list of options you could use
