I have a simple random quotes script, I don't know how to add a third variable

[minneapolisite]

My script has two variables ("quote" and "author"). It works great, but for my purposes I need to add a third variable ("class") to the quotes.txt document, and then (of course) pull it in using the PHP script. I figured this would be simple for a PHP coder, even though it's foreign to me as an HTML/CSS coder.

Here is the code...

PHP:

<?php
$file = file('quotes.txt');
$quotes = array();
$authors = array();
$count = 0;
foreach($file as $k => $v)
	{
	if(preg_match("#^\r?\n$#", $v) == 0)
		{
		$count++;

	if($count % 2 == 1)
		{
		preg_match("#quote\:(.+)\r?\n?#i", $v, $matches);
		$quotes[] = trim($matches[1]);
		}
	else
		{
		preg_match("#author\:(.+)\r?\n?#i", $v, $matches);
		$authors[] = trim($matches[1]);
		}
	}
}
$rnd = array_rand($quotes);
$rnd_quote = $quotes[$rnd];
$rnd_author = $authors[$rnd];
echo "<p class=\"quote\">$rnd_quote</p>";
echo "<p class=\"author\">$rnd_author</p>";
?>

quotes.txt file:

quote:hello world 1
author:author 1
quote: hello world 2
author: author 2
quote: hello world 3
author: author 3
quote: hello world 4
author: author 4

Original script from: http://www.php-freebies.com/pf-random-quotes/

Hope someone can help! Thanks in advance. 🙂

There is couple ways it could be done, but to keep from confusing you this is likely the easiest to understand.

<?php
$file = file('quotes.txt');
$quotes = array();
$authors = array();
$class = array();
$count = 0;
foreach($file as $k => $v) 
	{
	if(preg_match("#^\r?\n$#", $v) == 0) 
		{
		$count++;

	if($count == 1) 
		{
		preg_match("#quote\:(.+)\r?\n?#i", $v, $matches);
		$quotes[] = trim($matches[1]);
		}
	elseif($count == 2) 
		{
		preg_match("#author\:(.+)\r?\n?#i", $v, $matches);
		$authors[] = trim($matches[1]);
		}
	else 
		{
		preg_match("#class\:(.+)\r?\n?#i", $v, $matches);
		$class[] = trim($matches[1]);
		$count = 0;
		}
	}
}
$rnd = array_rand($quotes);
$rnd_quote = $quotes[$rnd];
$rnd_author = $authors[$rnd];
$rnd_class = $class[$rnd];
echo "<p class=\"quote\">$rnd_quote</p>";
echo "<p class=\"author\">$rnd_author</p>";
echo "<p class=\"class\">$rnd_class</p>";
?>
