Random file selection

[rhache]

Hello,

I am trying to use PHP to randomly select different CSS stylesheets in my HMTL. For example, if I have the following stylesheets: "header1.css", "header2.css", "header3.css", "header4.css", how do I get PHP to select just one?

Can someone point me to a thread or an example in the code libary. I am not sure what to look for.

Thanks,
René

it's not that difficult. Just put your css files, and only your css files, in a directory. Then read in the file names ([man]readdir[/man]) and place them in an array. Then select one at random

<?php $id = mt_rand(0,(count($files)-1));?>

and use the one you selected at random

<?php $files[$id];
?>

What does this mean exactly:

Then read in the file names (readdir) and place them in an array.

Thanks,
