What are some common methods for displaying a different image every day using PHP?

One common method for displaying a different image every day using PHP is to create an array of image file paths and use the current day of the week or month to select a specific image to display. Another approach is to use a random number generator to select an image from a pool of images. Both methods can be implemented by writing a PHP script that selects an image based on the current date and outputs the corresponding HTML code to display the image. 

<?php
// Array of image file paths
$images = [
    'image1.jpg',
    'image2.jpg',
    'image3.jpg',
    // Add more image file paths as needed
];

// Get the current day of the week (0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, etc.)
$dayOfWeek = date('w');

// Select an image based on the day of the week
$imageIndex = $dayOfWeek % count($images);
$imagePath = $images[$imageIndex];

// Output the HTML code to display the image
echo '<img src="' . $imagePath . '" alt="Daily Image">';
?>
