Note Submitter: dosn@n-net.org ---- refering to the comment of omar dot speranza at argomedia dot it: --------- $line = mt_rand(0,count($file)); echo $file[$line]; --------- count gives the number of elements $file contains. The first element of the array is $file[0]. The last element is $file[(count($file)-1)]. If the value created by mt_rand is count($file), $file($line) is empty. So the above doesn't work correctly. To avoid getting an empty string, you should use this: $line = mt_rand(0, (count($file)-1));
