php help needed!

I have this simple php script..

Code:

<?

   $quoteFile = "quotes.txt";  //File holding qoutes



   $fp = fopen($quoteFile, "r");   //Opens file for read

   $content = fread($fp, filesize($quoteFile));

   $quotes = explode("\n",$content);   //Put quotes into array

   fclose($fp);   //Close the file



   srand((double)microtime()*1000000);  // randomize

   $index = (rand(1, sizeof($quotes)) - 1); //Pick random qoute



   echo $quotes[$index]; //Print quote to screen



?>

But it only displays ONE qoute, I want it to display any number of qoutes of my choice. How can I do this?

are all your quotes saved in the quotes.txt file and is that file in the same directory as the random quote file?

Yes, and it has one qoute per line.

hmmm I just set it up on my server and it works fine....

below is the code I used and an example of the quotes.txt file...

index.php

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body>

<?
$quoteFile = "quotes.txt"; //File holding qoutes

$fp = fopen($quoteFile, "r"); //Opens file for read
$content = fread($fp, filesize($quoteFile));
$quotes = explode("\n",$content); //Put quotes into array
fclose($fp); //Close the file

srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // randomize
$index = (rand(1, sizeof($quotes)) - 1); //Pick random qoute

echo $quotes[$index]; //Print quote to screen
?>

</body>
</html>

It works for me too. Maybe my question wasn't clear but I want to be able to show more then one qoute.

Instead of getting

"lick my balls"

I want to get

"lick my balls"
"eat my ass"

Or all three qoute if i want to. Any way of specificing how many qoutes it shows?

Code:

<?

   $howmany = 3; // The number of quotes to display.

   $quoteFile = "quotes.txt";  //File holding qoutes



   $fp = fopen($quoteFile, "r");   //Opens file for read

   $content = fread($fp, filesize($quoteFile));

   $quotes = explode("\n",$content);   //Put quotes into array

   fclose($fp);   //Close the file



   For ($i = 0; $i < $howmany; $i++) {

 

   srand((double)microtime()*1000000);  // randomize

   $index = (rand(1, sizeof($quotes)) - 1); //Pick random qoute



   echo $quotes[$index] . "<br>"; //Print quote to screen



   }



?>

That'll work.

?>

That'll work.

There's a chance of getting the same quote twice with that code though.

Many thanks!
Works perfectly!
Should have gone here directly, would have saved me a few hours of googling without any results.
Thanks again, you saved my day :)

Or a shorter version....

Code:

<?

$howmany = 3;

$quoteFile = "quotes.txt";

$quotesArr = file($quoteFile);

$quotes = array_rand($quotesArr, $howmany);

print join("<br>", $quotes);

?>

That only shows a bunch of numbers..

Oops. Fast and wrong ;)
I forgot that it returned the keys and not the values. This one works:

Code:

<?

$howmany = 3;

$quoteFile = "in.log";

$quotesArr = file($quoteFile);

$keys = array_rand($quotesArr, $howmany);

foreach ($keys as $key)

        print $quotesArr[$key]."<br>";

?>
