random value

Hi, I really know nothing about php, so maybe you guys can help me
I have this form

<form name="my_form" method="get" action="http://websitehere.com">
  <input type="hidden" name="q" value="" id="url_input" />
  <input type="hidden" name="hl" value="" />

Code (markup):

And I want replace the "http://websitehere.com" by 5 different random urls like "http://1websitehere.com" and "http://2websitehere.com" and "http://3websitehere.com" so on.. Even better I could put "weight" in them so 1 url will show more often.. probably this can be done by php or java? I dont know

 

Sorry i don't understand, you want to open 5 pages when the form is completed

 

nope, I just want to randomize the

action=

Code (markup):

I want it to sometimes be http://websitehere.com, sometimes http://1websitehere.com sometimes http://2websitehere.com etc..

 

I'm bad at php and too lazy now (I'm on holidays!) to modify it for you, but here

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/randomizer/

you can find a tutorial on how to make a image random via php. If you a know just a bit on programming will be really easy to modify so it fits your requirements.

 

Thanks but i can't modify it, looks complicated

 

I have to make an assumption here. A php file generates that html and you can put a variable in the action element of the form tag.

$urls = array(
    "http://www.example.com/1/",
    "http://www.example.com/2/",
    "http://www.example.com/3/",
    );
$url = $urls[rand(0,count($urls)-1)];

echo "<form name=\"my_form\" method=\"get\" action=\"$url\">";

PHP:

Quick idea. Not tested.

 

I was writting a reply with some code that should also work, but the one posted while I was writting looks better (I'm pretty sure it will work) so go ahead and try it.

 

Thanks noppid and tresman, it worked So if i want to add more urls I will just add below the array?

 

Hey! why don't you just make a quick test? It's quick and will help you a lot!

 

Yep, exactly. Just add URLs to the array and the math will always work.

 

Alright, Thanks

 

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this is exactly the kind of script I need - except I need to add weight to the urls, and I want to be able to do it some way other than having multiple entries of the same url in the array.

Please help the newbie!
