Here comes another one of Inspired's "amazing" PHP scripts. This little script lets you display a random message every time the user visits that particular page. It's not really that useful, but it does make the page a bit more "dynamic".

CODE

$randMsg = array("Hi, welcome to my page!", "Hey you! Thanks for visiting!",
"Bonjour, mon ami!", "So, do you like the site?", "Come one, come all!");

$MsgNum = count($randMsg);
$MsgGenNum = floor(rand(MsgNum));

echo $randMsg[$msgGenNum];



You can edit those values in the array if you want. Add more if you so choose. Enjoy!

Very nice, could you set it to be code snippets? Like

CODE
$randMsg = array("<img src='1.gif'>", "<img src='2.gif'>",
"<img src='3.gif'>", "<img src='4.gif'>", "<img src='5.gif'>");

$MsgNum = count($randMsg);
$MsgGenNum = floor(rand(MsgNum));

echo $randMsg[$msgGenNum];

Before, I readed the PHP manual. And I didn't see the floor function. What's the floor function?

yes, you can put random html code in there as well. that is how some people do random advertisment and banner rotation.

@karlo
i believe the floor function is simple to drop any decimals because he is using that
number as an index for an array. (an array can't have decimal index number)

It could also be used to display Random Quotes, which is something a lot of E/N sites do!
