Show Random Text in PHP
You know up at the top of the blog where it says “What Happened?”. Well, I wanted that to display another link, but only some of the time. So, I used the rand() function in PHP. Want to learn how to do this yourself? Read ahead.
First, we need to create the beginning to our php document.
<?
After this, we want to set our varaiable for the rand() function. In this case, we will use the variable
$rand
So, the line of code will be:
$rand = rand(1,2);
The (1,2) is so we only get the numbers 1 or 2 returned to choose which block of text to display.
Next, we want to set our blocks of text.
if ($rand == 1) {
echo “TEXT NUMBER 1″;
}
if ($rand == 2) {
echo “TEXT NUMBER 2″;
}
Change TEXT NUMBER 1 & 2 to what you want it to display.
Now, you want to close the document.
?>
You now have a random text generator! You can download the script using the button below.
