That could work but is it possible to have everything contained in the script (without the external text file)? I'm using this in Wordpress so I'd like to edit in one place only.

Random on page load. And yep, a php snippet. I found something similar here: <?php $content = array( 'http://www.address1.com|image1|Caption 1', 'http://www.address2.com|image2|Caption 2', 'http://www.address3.com|image3|Caption 3', 'http://www.address4.com|image4|Caption 4' ); shuffle($content); foreach ($content as $value) { $explode = explode('|', $value); echo '<p><a href="' . $explode[0] . '"><img src="/misc/php/shuffle/' . $explode[1] . '.gif" border="0" width="100" height="25" align="absmiddle"></a> <a href="' . $explode[0] . '">' . $explode[2] . '</a></p>'; } ?> But I couldn't get that to work with the YouTube code.

Can someone assist with a code snippet that will randomly display YouTube videos using their embed code? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bYI_aOyCn9Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I'd like to cycle through 3-4 videos.

%3$s displays a string of text that always begins with a number followed by a colon (from 1-25 only). 1: 2: 3: etc... Is there a way to remove the number and the colon entirely and leave the rest of the string intact? function wp_rss( $url, $num_items = -1 ) { if ( $rss = fetch_rss( $url ) ) { if ( $num_items !== -1 ) { $rss->items = array_slice( $rss->items, 0, $num_items ); } //start count $i = 1; foreach ( (array) $rss->items as $item ) { printf( '<div title="%2$s"><strong>'.$i.'</strong></div><div>%3$s</div>', esc_url( $item['link'] ), esc_attr( strip_tags( $item['description'] ) ), htmlentities( $item['title'] ) ); //increment $i++; } Ashley

Isn't this the variable? %3$s It produces strings such as this ... 1: Lead Me, Sanctus Real

Unfortunately, I don't think it's that simple. Thanks for the replies.

How does this work into the code I've posted? I'm trying to learn php but my knowledge is obviously very limited. I apologize.

This bring up a point which I didn't mention. There may be instances in which there are other colons in the string so I'd want to make certain those weren't affected.

Completely lost. What is $string = '1:some other stuff';?

How/where would I implement this in the code?

In <div id="chart_rt">%3$s</div> below, it is populated with a string that always begins with a number followed by a colon (from 1: to 25:). I see that ltrim removes characters from the beginning of a string but I don't see how to compensate for the extra character in 10: through 25: function wp_rss( $url, $num_items = -1 ) { if ( $rss = fetch_rss( $url ) ) { echo '<div id="charts">'; if ( $num_items !== -1 ) { $rss->items = array_slice( $rss->items, 0, $num_items ); } //start count $i = 1; foreach ( (array) $rss->items as $item ) { printf( '<div id="chart_lt">'.$i.'</div><div id="chart_rt">%3$s</div>', esc_url( $item['link'] ), esc_attr( strip_tags( $item['description'] ) ), htmlentities( $item['title'] ) ); //increment $i++; } echo '</div>'; } else { _e( 'An error has occurred, which probably means the feed is down. Try again later.' ); } }

Awesome, thank you so much! Have a blessed week!!

I believe it's called increment. Either way, I cannot figure out how to simply count up beginning at 1 (in red in the div below) ... function wp_rss( $url, $num_items = -1 ) { if ( $rss = fetch_rss( $url ) ) { echo '<div id="charts">'; if ( $num_items !== -1 ) { $rss->items = array_slice( $rss->items, 0, $num_items ); } foreach ( (array) $rss->items as $item ) { printf( '<div id="chart_lt">1</div><div id="chart_rt">%3$s</div>', esc_url( $item['link'] ), esc_attr( strip_tags( $item['description'] ) ), htmlentities( $item['title'] ) ); } echo '</div>'; } else { _e( 'An error has occurred, which probably means the feed is down. Try again later.' ); } }
