Here's how you generate a random number: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php There are a number of things you can do with that to select a random file and include it.

On a php web page I want to generate a random number between say 1 and 10 and then use that number to reference a particular file in an include tag. <?php include('GeneratedNumber.html'); ?> Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks
