Idea i have but is it possible?

[thefollower]

I had the idea of randomly echo'in a certain text on a random page of the entire site... (with exlcuding lists ) so that it will show on page that the user can actually access...

 

What i was thinking was in my global include randomize what page it should be... but wondered would i have to physically hard code each page url for it to choose or is there a built in function which can scan through the root folder and pick at random?

 

And then after that find a way to do "if user is view "this url" ... echo 'stuff'"

 

?

<?php

$string =
'monkeys
pie
potato
grape
loser
lemonade
woot
pie';

$ex = explode("\n",$string);

shuffle($ex);

echo $ex[rand(0,count($ex))];
?>

 

Random line from the string variable. You can include a text file instead. So like:

 

<?php

$file = file('this-file.txt');

shuffle($file);

echo $file[rand(0,count($file))];
?>

How does it know what php scrip the user is viewing is that what

 

file('this-file.txt');

 

is? which i will assume is built in function ?

 

Also won't the strings require the .php tag at the end ?
