Adding Random Keywords to this Snippet?

[patrich]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here!

 

I have a little php script that pulls serp data and displays it in my website. It searches MSN for a keyword that I enter and then gets me "x" listings. I would like the script to use a random keyword from a .txt file to use for the search query?

 

I have tried file_get_contents and several other functions without any luck. I also tried to use a simple random quote php script to no avail. Any ideas?

 

$keyword = $paramsA{'my_keyword'};
$keyword = eregi_replace("\.s*html*$","",$keyword);
$keyword = eregi_replace("\-|\_|\.|%20| ","+",$keyword);
$keyword_phrase_array = preg_split('/\+/',$keyword);

$limit = $paramsA{'limit'};if (!$limit) { $limit = 0; }

 

I would like to replace 'my_keyword' in the snippet above with a random keyword/search string but can't seem to get it to work any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I would like the random keywords to come from a simple text file from the same directory.

 

Another option, if possible, would be to just randomize the keywords within this script itself, ie. keyword1, keyword2 etc.

 

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

shuffle every think but show 1 number/letter.

<?php


$a=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);

echo array_rand($a);

?>

 

shuffle ever think in the array and show.

<?php


$b=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);

shuffle($b);

$c=implode(' ',$b);

echo $c;

?>

Thanks for the code!  Not sure where I should put it though? I tried adding it like this:

 

$keyword = $paramsA{'<?php
$a=array(keyword1,keyword2,keyword3);

echo array_rand($a);

?>'};
$keyword = eregi_replace("\.s*html*$","",$keyword);
$keyword = eregi_replace("\-|\_|\.|%20| ","+",$keyword);
$keyword_phrase_array = preg_split('/\+/',$keyword);

$limit = $paramsA{'limit'};if (!$limit) { $limit = 0; }

 

Didn't work though, should I be adding it differently?

$keyword_phrase_array = preg_split('/\+/',$a);

$limit = $paramsA{'limit'};if (!$limit) { $limit = 0; }
