Hi all!

I'm embarking on a new personal project and it requires something very similar to this random 'generator' on this website:

https://jwebgen.com/generate
https://jwebgen.com/breed

I'm familiar with HTML/CSS, but I'm unsure of how to replicate the function of these forms (I see in their code that they use a PHP script, but I'm not sure where to go from there)!

Would anyone have any tips on how I might be able to accomplish something similar?

Thank you! :)

What do you want to generate? Similar seems kinda broad.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi Eric!

At the moment, I’m trying to figure out how to output an image that is randomly ‘colored’ with the click of a button. Like how in the example link, the final image has a random hair color, body color, etc that constantly changes with each click.

I’m not sure where to even begin to understand it, but the owner kindly let me have access to view the PHP files, and I have to say my mind is blown (no idea what I’m looking at but attempting to make sense)! :P

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
