Sorry to ask a simple question, but I'm looking to randomise a display of content, which are called up with basic PHP include files.

So if there are 5 images, I'm calling them up as:

<!-- site content above --> 
<?PHP include("/home/user/public_html/section1.php"); ?> 
<?PHP include("/home/user/public_html/section2.php"); ?> 
<?PHP include("/home/user/public_html/section3.php"); ?> 
<?PHP include("/home/user/public_html/section4.php"); ?> 
<?PHP include("/home/user/public_html/section5.php"); ?>
<!-- footer below -->

How would I randomise with a script within the body itself?

Many thanks for any replies.

I always use the rand function with if statments for randomly selecting things.
Something like:

PHP Code:

<?php
$rand = rand(1, 3);

if($rand == "1");
{
do this
}
if($rand == "2");
{
do that
}
if($rand == "3");
{
do the other
}
?>

here's one I wrote earlier
