    <?

$quotes = array();

$content = file_get_contents('quotes.txt');

//gets contents of the quotes.txt file

$quotes = explode("::",$content);

//makes an array of quotes after they are seperated

$total_quotes = count($quotes);

//counts the total number of quotes

echo trim($quotes[mt_rand(0,$total_quotes-1)]);

//echo a random quote :)

?>
    PHP:
    When I want to use a , instead of a ::
    it doesn't work. How can I make it work with , ?


    Thanks!

    Did you mean explode them using comma as delimiter?

    If yes, you shouldn't, because quotes has a lot of commas?
