Have no idea what you're asking here

[almightyegg]

rand() can only deal with numbers...and i want to randomise whole pages of information....

[trq]

Look though....

[code]
<?php
  $page = rand(1,5);
  include 'page'.$page.'.php';
?>
[/code]

[code]
<?php
$rand = rand(1,3);
switch($rand){
case 1:
$page = "page1.php"
break;
case 2:
$page = "page2.php"
break;
case 3:
$page = "page3.php"
break;
}
include "$page";
?>
[/code]

You managed to do in 13 lines what I did in 2. Hehe. It might be a clearer example though.

your way will require the page to be an number (page23.php), and mine doesn't, it allows you to define what each page that you want randomized.
