random include ?

filn

$RANDOMFPA = "./fpa.txt";

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

if (file_exists($RANDOMFPA)) {
	$arry_txt = preg_split("/--NEXT--/", join('', file($RANDOMFPA)));
	$fpa = $arry_txt[rand(0, sizeof($arry_txt) -1)];
	include('$fpa');
} else {
	echo "Error: can't open $RANDOMFPA file";
}

so i have this, can i want to to display a random full page ad based on a list in a text file. but all it does is print "include('$fpa');" on the page in the spot i want the fpa to be. can anybody correct this and make it work ? thanks !@@$$@#

Remove the quotes?

include($fpa);

ok that works. but no matter what i do, it cant find the files listed in the random text file. ive tried every path combination possible. any ideas ?

Well, we dont' know anything about your directory structure, or the contents of your file, so it's hard for us to tell you why it won't work...

i was trying to be to complicated. insted of making it an include, i just put the html i wanted to have randomly displayed into the text file (sence i had it split each one by --next--). works fine. thanks for the help though.
