Hi,

I am looking for a way that when someone navigates to a file, that file sends them to one of the four links enclosed in that file randomly. Is this possible?

Cheers,

Ross

Something like this could do the trick:
CODE
<?php
$links[] = "http://www.fresh-style.nl";
$links[] = "http://www.thewebsqueeze.com";
$links[] = "http://www.php.net";
$links[] = "http://www.thewebsqueeze.com/forum/PHP-f11/Random-Url-Selection-t1639.html";
$rand = $links[array_rand($links)];
header("location: " . $rand);
exit();
?>


There's no check to see if the same value occures twice in a row, so you can be redirected to the same url twice. And ofcourse you can't place data output to the browser before the header command. You can simply add/remove a link by copying a line and changing the url value. Hope it's helpfull.
