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?

@ rejected
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!
