Random Rotation

In this tutorial I’ll be teaching you how to code a PHP rotation script. Please read the variables tutorial and the arrays tutorial first.

OK, so start off with a variable called ‘items’, and then we’ll add an array with three different pieces of information:

<?php

$items = array ("How are you?","How's it going?","How's your day been?");

?>

We now need to echo out each piece of information randomly, so we’ll add this:

<?php

$items = array ("How are you?","How's it going?","How's your day been?");

echo $items[array_rand($items)];

?>

So basically what we’ve done is echoed out all three bits of information in the ‘items’ variable, but instead of displaying the information all at the same time, we’ve made the information display randomly.

You can use images, links, divs etc., just remember not to use ” for the attributes, use ‘;
<img src='URL' />

Here’s an example:

How’s it going?
