so I am trying make a script that will goto 1 url or the other randomly

I figured I would make it select a random number then if $num = 1 goto www.google.com and if $num = 2 then goto www.yahoo.com

I can't seam to get it to work I can however get the number part to work

<?php

$num = mt_rand(1, 2);
echo($num);

?>

how would I go about finishing that?

PHP Code:


			
<?php



ob_start();



list($num, $url) = array(mt_rand(0, 1), array('http://www.yahoo.com/', 'http://www.google.com/'));



header("Location: $url[$num]"); ob_flush(); exit();



?>

Use the url array to store the address you want to redirect to. The first parameter of mt_rand() must be zero, because the first index of an array is always 0 then, 1, 2, 3, etc. You'll want the second parameter to be total number items in the array. Don't forget the first item in the array is indexed as 0.

What he said. Not sure you actually need the ob_start, you could echo a javascript redirect, depending what works for you.

@Fris, yeah I got your support ticket this morning. Haven't been on AIM much and had to disconnect my phone lines. College semester started 2 weeks ago been keeping me busy that's all..

@fluffygrrl, You don't in that example, but it's still good practice.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$url1 = 'http://www.google.com';

$url3 = 'http://www.yahoo.com';

$lnk = array(); 

$lnk[count($lnk)] = $url1;

$lnk[count($lnk)] = $url2;

$count = count($lnk); $i = date(s); $i = $i%$count; if($lnk[$i]){ $url = $lnk[$i]; } else { $url = $url1; }

header( "Location: ". $url );

?>

I'm not 100% sure what you need. That is one way to do it.
