$RANDOM_URL_FILE = "/home/hhujk/htdocs/randomphp/anal.txt";<br />$fp = @fopen($RANDOM_URL_FILE);<br />if ($fp){<br /> while(!feof($fp)){<br /> $line++;<br /> $url[$line] = fgets($fp, 4096);<br /> }<br />$rand = rand(1, $line - 1);<br />header("location: $url[$rand]");<br />}<br />else {echo"couldn't open file";}<br /><br />This should be all you need. No need to get fancy it seems..<br />If the file also has blank lines in it, get them out or write some addon so they don't get in the final array.

[Slackman]

sorry that line:<br />$rand = rand(1, $line - 1);<br />should be:<br />$rand = rand(1, $line);<br /><br />(unless you have a blank line at the end of your file, then you should leave it in)<br /><br />also, just "rand()" will do fine here. no need to seed it for this kind of stuff.
