What are some methods in PHP to display a random selection of images from a folder with varying file names?

To display a random selection of images from a folder with varying file names in PHP, you can use the `scandir()` function to get a list of all files in the folder, filter out only the image files, and then use `array_rand()` to select a random image from the list. Finally, you can display the selected image using an HTML `<img>` tag. 

$folder = &#039;path/to/images/folder/&#039;;
$files = array_diff(scandir($folder), array(&#039;..&#039;, &#039;.&#039;));

$imageFiles = array_filter($files, function($file) {
    return preg_match(&#039;/\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$/i&#039;, $file);
});

$randomImage = $imageFiles[array_rand($imageFiles)];

echo &#039;&lt;img src=&quot;&#039; . $folder . $randomImage . &#039;&quot; alt=&quot;Random Image&quot;&gt;&#039;;
