Maybe building two associative arrays (e.g. $pictures and $urls), using an index
number that matches both and store the file name in one and the URL in the
other. That way when you print the graphic after getting shuffled, you have the
index number to get the correct URL. As an example...

<a href="<?=$urls[$i]?>"><img src="<?=$pictures[$i]?>"></a>
