That's a little random ;)

Can you be a little more specific on what you're wanting to make random?

Gosh, I was going to say I think I need something more than that something in the parenthesis or something....rand(etc.)

Yes I have something I am rotating. Can't list the script someone else gave it to me but its pretty simple. I just need a random variable to call on instead of getting the date. Right now as you can see it calls on the day. I need it to call on a random command instead.      $getfile = date("d");

Hope some of you have some random commands I can put there instead.

I'm still not following entirely. If there is a list of something you're rotating, is it in an array? If so, just [url=http://us3.php.net/shuffle]shuffle()[/url] the array and display the first one. I think what's throwing me off is your comment about [i]random command calling[/i].

Not its not an array. I just put some php code into a directory and it rotates everthing in the directory folder. Right now this is what makes everything rotate by day.
$getfile = date("d");

I need it to point to a php random command instead of a date command. Hope someone can help, thanks.

I got it, you just do use the rand but you have to put something in it.
rand(0,5)
