What are some best practices for creating a live image ticker using PHP?

To create a live image ticker using PHP, you can use AJAX to periodically fetch new images from a server and display them in a loop on the webpage. You can store the image URLs in an array and use JavaScript to update the image source on the webpage at regular intervals. 

<?php
// Array of image URLs
$images = array(
    'image1.jpg',
    'image2.jpg',
    'image3.jpg'
);

// Output HTML and JavaScript for image ticker
echo '<div id="imageTicker"></div>';
echo '<script>';
echo 'var images = ' . json_encode($images) . ';';
echo 'var index = 0;';
echo 'function updateImage() {';
echo 'document.getElementById("imageTicker").innerHTML = "<img src=" + images[index] + " />";';
echo 'index = (index + 1) % images.length;';
echo '}';
echo 'setInterval(updateImage, 3000);'; // Update image every 3 seconds
echo '</script>';
?>
