Random Redirect

Recommended Posts

Hey all used to be a member a long time ago when i migh have actually know what i was doing :) - started a new site and trying to learn how to do things. Currently i have a button on my webpage that when clicked i would like to have a redirect to a random webpage from a list of my fav pages......My understanding is i need to have the button link to another page which then will figure out what page it wants to goto then redirect the user there. Below is the code i have put together from reading around. But currently for what ever reason its not doing anything and simply brings up a blank page that displays half the code....If possible can somone tell me what stupid mistake i am making with my code below....Thanking you in advance :)

 

<?php
srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);
$random_number = rand(0,2);

$mypage = "www.kra55.com";

if ($random_number==0)
  $mypage = "www.shortnews.com";
elseif ($random_number==1)
  $mypage = "www.torncity.com";
else
$mypage = "www.kra55.com";


header("Location: http:/" . $mypage);

?>

Also, don't forget to put a space between the 'else' and the 'if' (you have elseif in your code).  Also, if I am not mistaken rand() is all inclusive, so you should either put:

 

$random_number = rand(0,1);

 

for two choices, or add another 'else if' statement.

another two different ways.

<?php 

$page=array("www.kra55.com","www.shortnews.com","www.torncity.com","www.kra55.com");

shuffle($page);

function head($page){

header("Location: http://{$page[0]}");

return;
}

$random_number=rand(0,4);

switch ($random_number){

case "0";

head($page);

break;

case"1";

head($page);

break;

case"2";

head($page);

break;

case"3";

head($page);

break;

}

?>

 

 

<?php

$page=array("www.kra55.com","www.shortnews.com","www.torncity.com","www.kra55.com");

shuffle($page);

if(isset($page)){

echo header("Location: http://{$page[0]}");
}

?>
