Text Rotating Script?

[Pete]

I'm looking for a text rotating script that automatically pulls text files from a data base to update a members area site.

Anyone have one?

I did a script that pulls texts depending on the date.

The names are in format 1.txt, 2.txt etc and I pull them by the date.

Here is a script in perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$path_to_html="path/to/htmlfile";
$path_to_data="path/to/datadir";

$time = time;
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isd st) = localtime($time);
$today = $wday.".txt";

open (HTML,">$path_to_html/index.html");
open (HEAD, "path_to_data/$today");
@head = HEAD; (need bigger smaller as brackets around HEAD. won't show here)
close (HEAD);
foreach $line (@head) {
print HTML"$line";
}
close (HTML);

end srcipt.

very simple way to do it .

Go to Hotscripts.com and look for something like "quote of the day" scripts.

CsRandom does exactly that.

Costs $20.
