Some php help please....

[Jon Clark - BANNED FOR LIFE]

I know that if I want to include a file on a page I put the line...

<? @include("http://www.domain.com/file.html"); ?>

But what if I want the file to change with each refresh of the page what to I put...?


Thanks in advance for any help you give

one quick way you could do that is create an array of all your links, and then generate a random number between 0 and the number of links - 1 and use that number.

so like this if you had 3

<?php 
$url[0] = 'http://www.fuck.you/fuckoff.html';
$url[1] = 'http://www.suckmyballs.com';
$url[2] = 'http://www.lickmynuts.com';

$fuckingNumber = strval(rand()%3);

include($url[$fuckingNumber]);
?>

Thanks... But would I put replace "fuckingnumber" with the number of files there are?

you would replace the 3 with the number of files you have.

<?php
$url[] = 'http://www.test1.com';
$url[] = 'http://www.test2.com';
$url[] = 'http://www.test3.com';

$x= strval(rand()%count($url));

include($url[$x]);
?>

simpler version of the example above, only modification needed is to add more url's as you need them.

OK, I have tried to lines of code... Neither are working for me...

First one is located at http://www.freepornation.com/test/index.php

<? $sl = rand(1,5);include ('1.htm'.$sl.'2.htm'.$sl.'3.htm'.$sl.'4.htm'.$sl.'5.htm'); ?>

Second one is located here http://www.freepornation.com/test/index2.php

<?php 
$url[0] = '1.htm';
$url[1] = '2.htm';
$url[2] = '3.htm';
$url[3] = '4.htm';
$url[4] = '5.htm';

$no. 01234 = strval(rand()%5);

include($url[$no. 01234]);
?>

As you can see neither work

$no. 01234 = strval(rand()&#37;5);

include($url[$no. 01234]);

change "$no. 01234" to simply "$no"

You should take the time to learn the basics of PHP.

You are more then correct and it is in my plans, but managing the designers, clients and working on this new program I hardly have time for anything at all

his is better because it counts the number of elements in the array for you. but both will do the job.

I am sure there will be a next time... I am a total newb at alot of things and I am not scared to ask for help

For starters, you can't have a space in variable names.

[Beaver Bob]

I thank you too

no prob. one of the very basic things about PHP is you can't have spaces in your variable names or periods and certain other special characters that are used as operators.

Thanks Bob... I will play around with them both and see which ends up working best for my application
