This might be a little complicated..!
Here's what I got so far:
$i = 0;
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$link = $post[1];
$title = $post[2];
$i++;
//echo $link;
}
$i
= Counts all posts on my website.
$link
= provide a link to the post.
After fetching how many posts I have with $i
, I need to randomize a value between 1-"Total Posts" and instead of echoing out the random value it should redirect the website to the respective $link
. Can someone please enlighten me?
You can use the function array_rand to obtain a random key in $posts
$posts = array (
array ('0', 'http://stackoverflow.com', 'SO'),
array ('1', 'http://google.com', 'Google'),
array ('2', 'http://youtube.com', 'Youtube'),
array ('3', 'http://4chan.org', '4chan')
);
// ...
$random_entry_key = array_rand ($posts);
$random_entry = $posts[$random_entry_key];
header ("Location: " . $random_entry[1]);
If you have a fetish for one-liners header("Location: ".$posts[array_rand ($posts)][1]);
$i = rand(0, count($posts) - 1); // if $posts has 10 items, rand will return
// an integer between 0 and 9 (both inclusive)
header('Location: ' . $posts[$i][1]);
