Looking for a spinner that can spin between 10 different links

[tridentspk]

I'm looking for a spinner that...

When visitors come to my website, I want them to be randomly redirected from a choice of 10 different links.

For example.

Visitor #1 goes to http://mysite.com/page.php and lands on http://google.com
Visitor #2 goes to http://mysite.com/page.php and lands on http://twitter.com
etc.... etc...

Thanks.

create an array in php of all of the links (you said 10, so thats what we will use). Lets call the array links, so links[0] = http://www.google.com, links [1] = http://www.facebook.com, etc...

Then we randomly select a number between 0 and 9 so use

$randomNumber = rand(0,9); 

then we print out this line:

print '<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "'.links[$randomNumber].'"
//-->
</script>'; 

I believe that should work...

Here's another way using only php:

<?php
$urls = array(
"http://url_1.html",
"http://url_2.html",
"http://url_3.html",
"http://url_4.html",
"http://url_5.html",
"http://url_6.html",
"http://url_7.html",
"http://url_8.html",
"http://url_9.html",
"http://url_10.html"
);

shuffle($urls);
$url = array_shift($urls);
header("location:$url");
exit;
?>

"http://url_6.html",

"http://url_10.html"
);

shuffle($urls);
$url = array_shift($urls);
header("location:$url");
exit;
?>

If you don't mind me saying, that's a bit of a roundabout way of doing it . You could just use an random index like so:

$urls = array(
"http://url_1.html",
"http://url_2.html",
"http://url_3.html",
"http://url_4.html",
"http://url_5.html",
"http://url_6.html",
"http://url_7.html",
"http://url_8.html",
"http://url_9.html",
"http://url_10.html"
);
$url = $urls[rand(0,(count($urls)-1))];
header("location: $url"); 

Avoids the stack function, and the shuffle function and just returns a result based on a random number.

I don't mind. Especially if it's a better way!
