PHP: How to pick ~15 lines of text from a textfile and put them on my site?

I know we got some good PHP programmers around here. Anyone want to help me with this?

I got a textfile with about ~500 lines of text. I want to pick like 15 random lines and show them on my page.

Anyone know how I can do this?

pretty simple...

Code:

<?php

$a = file("somefile.txt");

for($b=0;$b<15;$b++) 

  echo $a[array_rand($a)];

?>

just off the top of my head, there's always a chance that you might get a duplicate line but it should give you a good start..
