This is something I have been playing with for quite awhile. I'm very new to php, but i finally
got it to work. it's a function that will take and array[$arrquo] and find a particular
keyword[$find] in the different elements of the array then take those elements that posess that
keyword and display them at random
<?php
function popbyword($arrquo,$find)
{
$newarr = array('');
foreach($arrquo as $line)
{
if( strstr( $line, $find ) )
{
array_push($newarr, $line);
}
}
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$rquote = array_rand($newarr);
echo $newarr[$rquote];
}
popbyword($images, 'Albert');
?>
In my case I had this huge array of quotes with 90 some elements. I was able to find certain
keywords in those elements then ONLY display the elements that had those keywords. NEAT! Maybe only
because I'm new.
