What steps can be taken to prevent ASCII output and successfully display a random image using PHP in this context?

To prevent ASCII output and successfully display a random image using PHP, you can ensure that the image file paths are correctly set and use appropriate HTML image tags to display the images. Additionally, you can use functions like `scandir()` to retrieve a list of image files from a directory and then randomly select one to display. 

<?php
// Directory where images are stored
$imageDirectory = 'images/';

// Get list of image files
$imageFiles = array_diff(scandir($imageDirectory), array('..', '.'));

// Randomly select an image file
$randomImage = $imageDirectory . $imageFiles[array_rand($imageFiles)];

// Display the random image
echo '<img src="' . $randomImage . '" alt="Random Image">';
?>
