Random include ?

Hi i am trying to work out a Random Include script

so if i use the script it will populate a div / section of my site

from a list of files I have defined, any ideas ?
switch statement trickery?

 

<?php
$files = array("file1.php","file2.php","file3.php");
$selected_file = $files[rand(0,count($files)-1)];
include($selected_file);
?>

 

I would use mt_rand, according to php.net it is a faster algorithm

 

Or you can use array_rand function : array_rand ($file_array, $numberofitemstoget)

<?php
$input = array("Neo", "Morpheus", "Trinity", "Cypher", "Tank");
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);
echo $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";
echo $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";
?>
