Here\'s a solution you can use for this situation:

Make an array of possible pages and randomly select a key.

 

[php:1:9dc168d5bd]$arr = Array(\\\"pg1.php\\\",\\\"pg2.php\\\",\\\"pg3.php\\\",\\\"pg4.php\\\",\\\"pg5.php\\\");

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);

$rand = rand(0,(sizeOf($arr)-1));

$file = $arr[$rand];

 

include($file);[/php:1:9dc168d5bd]

 

Hope that helps.
