Re: Random Link

You won't get blasted for a message like this, so no need to apologize. At least it's related to PHP, unlike half the other postsers who *do* want someone to do their work for them. I would create an associative array of titles and pages, then use the random function (http://www.php.net/manual/html/function.rand.html). After that, it's just a matter of printing the correct html. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane McBride" <sales@riversidedesigns.net> To: "Php-General" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 9:07 AM Subject: [PHP] Random Link > I know I'll get blasted for posting this message, so I apologize. > > I am looking to create a script that will generate random links on a web > page.
