random 10 links out of txt file

[fris]

not sure how to go about this did a search. have done other random image codes before.

i have a list of say 100-150 links. what i want to do is randomly select 10 of the links from the txt file and display them.

can anyone point me in the direction?

load each line of the text file into an array, then use the [man]rand/man function to pull out random array elements.

To load each line of the file as an array item, look at using [man]file/man

Why not just build a array of links eveytime a new link is added or removed. Then just include the file that holds the $array and then...

$keys = array_rand ( $array, 3 );
echo $array[$keys[0]] . "\r\n";
echo $array[$keys[1]] . "\r\n";
echo $array[$keys[2]] . "\r\n";

A include() is faster than calling file() and then having to process it!
