Randomize and hold for 24 hours

jigajigajason

I am trying to have a page randomize words and hold the same set of words for 24 hours. I have the randomization down but can't figure out how to make it hold the same set for a time period. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my randomization code:

<?php
$array = file("words.txt");
$num = count($array);
$rand1 = rand("0",$num-1);
$rand2 = rand("0",$num-1);
?>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<font color="#ffffff" size="2"><center>Random Words 1:<br><?=$array[$rand1]?><br>
Random Words 2:<br><?=$array[$rand2]?><br><input type="button" value="Close" 

onclick="javascript:self.window.close();"></center></font>
</body>

You would have to put them in a file...

You store the two words in the file and you put an expiration date...

Something like :

<?
<?php
$check = file("mem_words.txt");
if($check[0] > time()) {
     $rand1 = $check[1];
     $rand2 = $check[2];
} else {
     $today_year = date("Y"); // gets the current year
     $today_month = date("n"); // gets the current month
     $today_day = date("j"); // gets the current day
     $today = mktime (0, 0, 0, $today_month, $today_day, $today_year); // get the date of the current day at 0:00
     $tomorrow = $today + 86400; // tomorrow at 0:00
     $array = file("words.txt");
     $num = count($array);
     $rand1 = $array[rand("0",$num-1)];
     $rand2 = $array[rand("0",$num-1)];
     $fp = fopen("words.txt", "w+");
     fputs($fp, $tomorrow . "\n");
     fputs($fp, $rand1 . "\n");
     fputs($fp, $rand2 . "\n");
     fclose($fp);
}
?>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<font color="#ffffff" size="2"><center>Random Words 1:<br><?= $rand1; ?><br>
Random Words 2:<br><?= $rand2; ?><br><input type="button" value="Close" 

onclick="java script:self.window.close();"></center></font>
</body>
