PHP Script help - GoFuckYourself.com

I've got a cgi script that allows me to add the output of a php script to an html page using the following line of code.

#insert : http://www.url.com/sript.php#

What I'm wondering is if someone could write me a couple of lines of code for script.php that would randomly select one line of information from a text file called text.txt.

This way, if I had the following line in my html file, the place where #insert : http://www.url.com/sript.php# is located, would be replaced by a random line of text from text.txt.

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">#insert : http://www.url.com/sript.php#</a>

Thanks

keep it simple : )

PHP Code:


			
<?php

    $file        = "random.txt";

    $file_Content    = file($file);



    if (count($file_Content) > 0)    {

        $line = $file_Content[rand(0,count($file_Content)-1)];

    

    echo $line;

    }

?>
