Random PHP file?

[DJWilson]

Hi,

anyone know or use a script which look's at a list given of PHP file's and then select's one for that page load which would be random on refresh?


Thanks.

Are you giving it the list of files, or does it need to scan from a directory?

If the former, then the quickest way is to use an array, shuffle it and then call the first element -

<?php

$pages = array( "1.php", "2.php", "3.php" );

shuffle($pages);

$page_to_do_something_with = $pages(0);

?>

then do whatever you need to do with the page...

[DJWilson]

<?php

= array( "1.php", "2.php", "3.php" );

shuffle();

= (0);

?>



This seem's perfect but the file's linked to (I have changed them lol) don't show?

[Danno13]

Presumably you've added an include line?

include( $page_to_do_something_with);

The code above won't do anything by itself as I didn't know what you wanted to do afterwards..

Is for images, but can be used for any file type.

Thank's, but I only need a section of the site to have the 'random' thing taking place :)
