Random Link Generator

[NightStalker]

Okay this is some small link generator which i use on my personal website

Lets start with creating an array.. and put out few sites..

<?php
$links = array();
$links[] = "http://www.gfxvoid.com;GFXvoid";
$links[] = "http://www.eagleimg.com;EagleImg";
$links[] = "http://www.imageshack.us;ImageShack;";
$links[] = "http://www.imghost.com;ImgHost";
$links[] = "http://www.ebaumsworld.com;eBaum's World";
$links[] = "http://www.afterdawn.com;AfterDawn";
$links[] = "http://www.letssingit.com;LetsSingIt";
$links[] = "http://www.sourceforge.net;SourceForge";
$links[] = "http://www.good-tutorials.com/;Good-Tutorials";
$links[] = "http://www.pixel2life.com;Pixel2Life";
$links[] = "http://www.big-boys.com/;Big-Boys";

now as you can see we have list of websites and their title..
next up we are going to pick randomly one of those using array_rand command

$random = array_rand($links);

now $random stands for a random link line from list above
next we need to separate URL from the title.. and as you can see there is ";" between em.. so we explode ";"

$first_rlink = explode(";", $links[$random1]);

now we need to output the result...or random link anyhow..

echo "<a href='$first_rlink[0]'>$first_rlink[1]</a>";
?>

Now this is done I'll show the full code below.. you can make this different like random 2 different link but remember it can output same link.. actually i have 2 link gen on my site and those can't be the same.. but i ain't gonna show how it's do

Can be useful for a "Random Affilates Tab".
The thing is i can't use php on my server..

too bad for you elite.. and i agree this can be used for Random Affilates.. but i just use this on my website to show good links and stuff

array_out = array_rand( array, count ); to make sure that links are unique and don`t double. If you have 3 links in your array, then array_rand( $your_array, 2 ) will return array with 2 different elements.
