Help with this script please

[mhende6600]

I am not a newbie, but I am not very good at scripts. I was searching for a random url script and ran a cross this script

<?php

// Go to a random URL

$url[0] = "http://google.com/";
$url[1] = "http://altavista.com/";
$url[2] = "http://lycos.com/";

srand ((double)microtime()*1000000);
$randomnum = rand(0, count($url)-1);
header ("Location: $url[$randomnum]");
?>


When I add it to a file it does not work, can someone help me.

It works fine, you might be missing the <?php at the top. Make sure your file name is whatever.php (assuming your server handles that).

Edit #5, damn thing won't properly parse the [ c o d e ] or the < ? p h p for some reason. Do the following

Remove the spaces for the first line.

< ? p h p
$url[0] = "http://google.com/";
$url[1] = "http://altavista.com/";
$url[2] = "http://lycos.com/";

srand ((double)microtime()*1000000);
$randomnum = rand(0, count($url)-1);
header ("Location: $url[$randomnum]");
?>

it's a PHP script. First your server has to support PHP.

second add < ? p h p (without the spaces) to the top of your script.

last, you need to rename your html file. eg, if your html file is called index.html or index.htm, rename it to index.shtml or index.php.

this depends on your server settings. you will want to check with the admin.
