Links Manager (was Link Manager 2)

...
Anyone know where I'm going wrong or is this a bug?

Not being much of a Php artist, when I originally got this working, I just wanted something which changed my front page with the odd random link, and a nice image of it. The aim was to make my front page look fresh and different every time you visit. My icon images are all 300x250 screenshots of where you are heading, so sit nicely to show off the destination link. I have over 750 links and so this was never going to be a problem really for me. It's basically working like the randbetween function of spreadsheets.

I like the idea that you can pick out particular sections of your links, so that if you reorder the xml file by categories, then renumber them, you can put up a random link from a particular category.

There is no code built into the function to find your max_id_number or on_error settings; however someone who knows Php may be able to add them.

For now I suggest setting it to your highest id number and changing it down the line. It won't take that long.

And listen out and perhaps someone will work out how to find the max_id and if the second variable is greater than max_id, will lower the second variable to max_id.

Anyone?
