is PHP the correct way ?

[flexxall]

I am attempting to learn and setup nodebb. I had started developing on SMF and php. I am wanting to know the best way to encorporate this code. It is being used to get/supply images for a random image div that fades in and out

$imagesDir = 'images/eggs/';

$eggs = array();
    foreach (glob("images/eggs/*.{jpg,png,gif}", GLOB_BRACE) as $filename) {
        $eggs[] = $filename;
}
    echo "<script>var eggs =" . json_encode($eggs) . "</script>";

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

function runIt() {
		var nest1 = $('#nest1');
		nest1.animate({opacity:'0'}, 4500);
		nest1.animate({opacity:'1'}, 4500, runIt);
		var nest2 = $('#nest2');
		nest2.animate({opacity:'0'}, 4500).delay(800);
		nest2.animate({opacity:'1'}, 4500, runIt);
		var nest3 = $('#nest3');
		nest3.animate({opacity:'0'}, 4500).delay(600);
		nest3.animate({opacity:'1'}, 4500, runIt);
		var nest4 = $('#nest4');
		nest4.animate({opacity:'0'}, 4500).delay(400);
		nest4.animate({opacity:'1'}, 4500, runIt);
		var nest5 = $('#nest5');
		nest5.animate({opacity:'0'}, 4500).delay(500);
		nest5.animate({opacity:'1'}, 4500, runIt);	
	}
	runIt();

@flexxall said in is PHP the correct way ?:

You can still use PHP by installing in on your webserver (nginx/apache), that may be the best option if you have a large amount of PHP code already.
