I was reading this post.

but curious how much php functionality is now available. looks like in the past only certain functions where available.

so I am trying to get some dynamic php for my og-image code that I used to have working where from my board to FB it posted the image of my sponsors with the last post twice a day. I used twitterfeed to pull the RSS and post to twitter\fb. But on my site i had this code so I could randomly grab an image with the post as it was read from my site.

how can I get my board to read this code in a template. right now i have the bottom hardcoded with meta tages in my header_include and it will read and post the image just fine.. but once I add the php part... no go?

I will apologize in advance I am just still learning the VB way of doing things.

<?php
$image1 = '<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.coverandcushion.com/image/sloan_ad.jpg"/>';
$image3 = '<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.coverandcushion.com/image/enviratex_ad.jpg"/>';
$image4 = '<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.coverandcushion.com/image/weathermax.jpg"/>';
$image5 = '<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.coverandcushion.com/image/breakwater.jpg"/>';
$image7 = '<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.coverandcushion.com/image/solarfix_ad.jpg"/>';
$image8 = '<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.coverandcushion.com/image/herculite_ad.jpg"/>';
$image9 = '<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.coverandcushion.com/image/csosmall.jpg"/>';

$arr = array("$image1", "$image3", "$image4", "$image5", "$image7", "$image8", "$image9" ); 
reset($arr); shuffle($arr); $new_array = array_slice($arr, 0, 1); while (list(, $value) = each($new_array)) {
     	echo "$value";
