randon includes

[zzz]

Hi!

Is there an easy way to have a page display random include (another php page) withing a site each time a page loads, preferably without making calls to a db?

Something similar to Javascript's random image logic, perhaps?...

This is a simplified snippet, but it works without the need of db:

$id[] = "page1.php";
$id[] = "page2.htm";

srand ((double)microtime()*1000000);
$randval = rand(0,count($id)-1);

include('$id[$randval]');

Kamy, you rule!

Snippet works just like I wanted it to. The only thing that I had to tweak was the quotation marks within

include($id[$randval]);

include(' $id[$randval]' );

I took them out and ta-dah! I have a tendency of putting extra quotes myself...

This solution is a lot simpler then some of the alternatives I was considering.

I hear you about the money!
