A redirect that works on percentages?

Is there any way I can set up a redirect that redirects to one page 95% of the time and another 5% of the time?

 

Sure, this can be done with probably any server side language with use of a database. I wouldn't know of anything available for free that would do that, but a programmer could put something together fairly easily.

 

Maybe something like this is enough:

<?php

if (mt_rand(1, 95) >= 95)
{
	header('Location: http://5percent.com/');
}
else
{
	header('Location: http://95percent.com');
}

exit();

?>

PHP:

 

I'm not much of a coder, would I place this in a php file or in the body of the html?

 

In a PHP file. But no other content could go there. It would redirect immediately to one of these pages.

 

Ah I see, thanks a lot man.

 

Would this be the correct code for a 75/25 percentage?

<?php

if (mt_rand(1, 75) >= 75)
{
header('Location: http://www.75percentage.com');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.25percentage.com');
}

exit();

?>

 

Actually, I think there's an error with both those codes.

<?php

if (mt_rand(1, 75) >= 75)
{
header('Location: http://www.75percentage.com');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.25percentage.com');
}

exit();

?>

Code (markup):

Will do it on a 1/75 chance.

<?php

if (mt_rand(1, 100) >= 75)
{
header('Location: http://www.75percentage.com');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.25percentage.com');
}

exit();

?>

Code (markup):

Would do it on a 25% chance, but it's still flipped...

<?php

if (mt_rand(1, 100) >= 75)
{
header('Location: http://www.25percentage.com');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.75percentage.com');
}

exit();

?>

Code (markup):

Is the correct way to go about it.

 

^^ Yep, my bad. You're right.
