Is this possible? Random Quote Script...

madcat

I'm trying to gett this script to output includes instead of text quotes, but nothing I try to put in an array will work. Is this at all possible?

The idea is to show a new include every time a visitor comes back to the site after reload. Do you know of any other scripts that would help me out or would this work?

<?php

$quotes[] = "I would rather this be a .php include";
$quotes[] = "I would rather this be a .php include 2";
$quotes[] = "I would rather this be a .php include 3";

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

echo "" . $quotes[$randomquotes] . "";
?>

Thanks!

Do you mean you'd want a separate file for each quote? Seems a little over-the-top to me. What would you have in the files: straight text or display code?

BTW, you could leave out the "srand()" line if you use "mt_rand()".

It would just be a paragraph and an image basically...

I'm sure there are other scripts better suited, but I couldn't find one that worked.

Using a database would be best, of course, with a column for the quotes and another for the image links.

Rather than writing new code, or for ideas for doing so, I'd look at what this Google search turns up.
