Why not just make cron (once a day) read the quotes file, pick a random line, write the quote to a file called quoteoftheday.php, then just include() that file into your page? Unless you're running this one a windows machine.. in that case you might be able to do the same thing with some scheduler instead of cron, I'm not sure. -Brian -- Opportunity makes a thief. -Francis Bacon, 1598
