Hi everyone,

i need your helf with some randomize-script.
I've found a random script, which randomize the texts.
My problem is, that this script randomize every time when you load the site, but i would like that it randomize every 3 hour.
What schould i have to change, that it works?

Here is that script:

PHP Code:


<? 
$array = file("text.php"); 
shuffle($array); 
for ($i=0; $i<$zufall = rand(50, 2050); $i++) { 
echo $array[$i]; 
} 
?>

I have not so much experience with php and need your help.

Thanks

Sam

Hello samvelyano,

I would imagine that you would need to store the 'random' array in a temporary file or database table/field. Then check if the 'temp' file or randomised array has expired each time you access it, if it has expired you generate a new 'random' array and write it to a new 'temp' file or db table/field.
