******************************************
This is a script that can generate random data with the priority setting you supplied.
++++++++++++
Requirements
++++++++++++
If you have a server that supports php, you may use this script anywhere within a php file. i.e. extentions are .php, .phtml, .php3
++++++++++++
Installation
++++++++++++
I included three examples to demonstrate how you can use this script differently. You can always come up with your own idea.
==========
Variables:
==========
Each time you want to use this script in a different way, you will have to modify the variables for it.
// set number of links you want to show at once
$show_link = 5;
// separate the links by, i.e. comma would be ",";
$separator = " ";
// Add links
// Please make sure you number entries CORRECTLY
// Look at the example for reference!
// DO NOT erase the priority part, leave all
// to 1 if you don't want them to have different
// priorities!
$links[0][link] = "x";
$links[0][priority] = 1;
$links[1][link] = "x";
$links[1][priority] = 1;
Make sure whenever you have " within the ""; for the link, put a \ in front of it if you don't want to get parse error.
=================
What is priority?
=================
The bigger number you put for the priority, the more likely the random element will be likely to show up. Mathematically if you put 2 for the priority, it means it's twice more likely to show up than 1. If you want everything to be totally random, then just put 1 for all of them. I do not recommend you put any number bigger than 100 for priority, it will slow down your script.
==============
Call function:
==============
Simply put dodosrangen(); in your php file to use the function. If you want to call it in the html part of your php file, do
=========
Examples:
=========
1. I included the dodosrangen.php in the first example. It shows up five links at a time.
2. You may use dodosrangen.php to display a random image along with text.
3. You may even use dodosrangen.php to select a random number.
