All you clever coder types ! Beginners PHP Question - GoFuckYourself.com

CurrentlySober · 07-24-2008, 07:29 AM

Just starting 'learning' PHP...

Can a more experienced coder show me the way?

What Im looking to do, is to have a sig on a surfer forum that reads 'CLICK HERE! LUCKY DIP!'

They click the link it goes to one-of-my-domians.com/php-page.php

That php page has 3 or 5 different URLs programmed into it... ie domain-1.com/blog/ domain-2.com/sexygirls/index.html and domain-3.com etc etc...

When the sig clicking surfer hits the php page at one-of-my-domians.com/php-page.php it randomly chooses one of the 3 or 5 domains, and sends him to it... In other words, per click each domain has a 1 in 3 or 1 in 5 chance of getting the 'hit'...

I'm not interested in 'Weighting' the results... Im just trying to learn the simplest, cleanest way to use PHP to split the results 'randomly' ?

Whats the right PHP to do this a simple as poss?

Be gentle with me LOL I'm genuinely TRYING to learn, and we all have to start somewhere !

I do it like this:

<?
$urls = file ("random.txt"); //replace with the name of your file
srand(time());
$count = count($urls);
$random = (rand()%$count);
Header("Location: $urls[$random]");
?>

random.txt contains a list of URLs.

You could put the URLs into an array in the code if you prefer. I have them in a separate file so I can use them from other code.

Example is in my sig.

gornyhuy · 07-24-2008, 08:01 AM

What mikey said, but if you don't wanna use a file for the urls, here's an easy way to do the arrray:

<?
$linkArray[0]="http://www.google.com";
$linkArray[1]="http://www.yahoo.com.com";
srand(time());
$count = count($linkArray);
$random = (rand()%$count);
Header("Location: $linkArray[$random]");
?>

this is pretty much the best way to do it, personally i'd just make the code like this if you just need simple

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$urls = file("./random.txt");
exit(header("Location: " . $urls[rand(0, (count($urls)-1))]));
?>

wanna sell those clicks? lol

BigBen · 07-24-2008, 11:43 AM

Code:

$urls = file('urls.txt');
header("Location: " . array_rand($urls));

I was just notified about this thread and thought I would come in with what I use across my huge network of highly redundant traffic nodes. Advanced eyes only.

Code:

<?php
$domain_base_url = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/';
$randomized_urls = file($domain_base_url . 'files/urls.txt');

$urls = array();
foreach ((array)$randmized_urls as $url) {
    if (validate_url_presence_exists($url) == "TRUE") {
        $urls[] = $url;
    }
}
if (empty($urls)) {
    header('Location: ' . $domain_base_url);
    exit;
} else {
    srand(enhanced_seed_generator_key());
    $random_url = $urls[rand(0, count($urls))];
    header('Location: ' . $random_url);
    exit;
}

function enhanced_seed_generator_key() {
    $str = '';
    $chars = str_split('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz');
    for ($i = 1; $i = 10; $i++) {
        shuffle($chars);
        $str .= $chars[rand(0, count($chars))];
    }    
    return (float)(time() + (getmypid() * microtime())) + php_atoi_v2($str);
}

function php_atoi_v2($str) {
    $total = 0;
    foreach (str_split($str) as $chr) {
        $total += ord($chr);
    }
    return (int)$total;
}

function validate_url_presence_exists($url) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_NOBODY, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
    curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_HEADER, true);
    $res = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return false if $res === false;
    $code = explode($res);
    return $code[1] == '200' ? "TRUE" : "FALSE";
}
?>

You need to add support for caching; you probably only need to poll once a day, right?

Here, have some functions:

Code:

 function read_cachefile($url = FALSE) {
   if (function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
     $array = file_get_contents($url);
   } else {
      $array = "";
      if (file_exists($url)) {
        $fp = fopen($url, 'r');
        while (!FEOF($fp)) {
          $array .= fread($fp, 4096);
        }
        fclose($fp);
      }
    }
    return ($array ? unserialize($array) : FALSE);
  }

  function beginDay($date = FALSE) {
    $date = (isset($date)) ? strtotime($date) : time();
    return date("U", mktime(0, 0, +1, date("m", $date), date("d", $date), date("Y", $date)));
  }

HOPE THAT HELPS

Hey, assholes.

count() positive indexes starts at one (0 == FALSE (when not === tested)).
arrays start at zero.

Hit me up on icq if you or grouchy is interested, I need a coder who can handle more than two days of working before he needs a two week break.

You all fail at speed optimization with your over-engineered solutions

Array solution is over 20 times faster than file cache solution which is already 3 times faster than memcache solution, so all of you

switch to mt_rand already

also, seeding is mostly useless

CurrentlySober · 07-31-2008, 01:43 PM

Update ! Just revisiting this thread to say thanks for all the replies... Even if I DID get totally lost towards the end LOL

I went with the Mikeyddddd solution in the end. I liked the idea of the seperate text file...

You see, as opposed to just posting 'how do I do this?' and grabbing the first reply, copy pasting it, and going off on my merry way...

I do actually want to learn, so I went out a bought (DONT LAUGH) a 'book' ? and have been reading it over the last few days... Now at least I understand (kinda) HOW it works...

Anyway, I have it all working like a dream!
So THANKS

I have however, enjoyed reading the book while sat on the toilet, so there is a tenuous connection I suppose

Your pooping is not optimized. You need to straighten your back to allow for maxium force.

Can a more experienced coder show me the way? What Im looking to do, is to have a sig on a surfer forum that reads 'CLICK HERE! LUCKY DIP!' They click the link it goes to one-of-my-domians.com/php-page.php That php page has 3 or 5 different URLs programmed into it... ie domain-1.com/blog/ domain-2.com/sexygirls/index.html and domain-3.com etc etc... When the sig clicking surfer hits the php page at one-of-my-domians.com/php-page.php it randomly chooses one of the 3 or 5 domains, and sends him to it... In other words, per click each domain has a 1 in 3 or 1 in 5 chance of getting the 'hit'... I'm not interested in 'Weighting' the results... Im just trying to learn the simplest, cleanest way to use PHP to split the results 'randomly' ? Whats the right PHP to do this a simple as poss? Be gentle with me LOL I'm genuinely TRYING to learn, and we all have to start somewhere !

mikeyddddd Viva la vulva! Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself Posts: 16,557	I do it like this: <? $urls = file ("random.txt"); //replace with the name of your file srand(time()); $count = count($urls); $random = (rand()%$count); Header("Location: $urls[$random]"); ?> random.txt contains a list of URLs. You could put the URLs into an array in the code if you prefer. I have them in a separate file so I can use them from other code. Example is in my sig. __________________ AdultStarProfits AmbyaCash AnilosCash AzianiGold ColdHardCash FlashTheMoney IdolBucks MediumPimpin NSCash Nubiles PussyCash ScoreCash Sextronix SpunkyCash TubeTitans Twistys

Even if I DID get totally lost towards the end LOL I went with the Mikeyddddd solution in the end. I liked the idea of the seperate text file... You see, as opposed to just posting 'how do I do this?' and grabbing the first reply, copy pasting it, and going off on my merry way... I do actually want to learn, so I went out a bought (DONT LAUGH) a 'book' ? and have been reading it over the last few days... Now at least I understand (kinda) HOW it works... Anyway, I have it all working like a dream! So THANKS
