Need a script to print "random" blocks of code.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for (what should be) a simple PHP script. I'm fairly sure you're all familar with the "random quote" script that can be done, however can a similar thing be done with printing code on a web page?

For example, say I have the following bits of code:

<div class="red">This is red square</div>

Code (markup):

<div class="green">This is a green square</div>

Code (markup):

<div class="blue">This is a blue square</div>

Code (markup):

...so, how could I use PHP to make those appear randomly each time the page is refreshed or reloaded?

Thanks very much, and I'm happy to answer questions.

 

<?php
$random_num = rand(1,3);  // selects random number between 1 and 3

switch ($random_num) {
    case 1:
        echo "<div class=\"red\">This is red square</div>";
        break;
    case 2:
        echo "<div class=\"green\">This is a green square</div>";
        break;
    case 3:
        echo "<div class=\"blue\">This is a blue square</div>";
        break;
}
?>

PHP:

 

Cheers, works just fine. +Repped
