PHP Random Quote

This code demonstrates how to use switch () to display a random quote on your website. Each of our quotes is set to run in the case that it's number is chosen. By using rand () to choose a random number, we are able to display one of the quotes at random.

 <? 
 //Chooses a random number 
 $num = Rand (1,6); 
 //Based on the random number, gives a quote 
 switch ($num)
 {
 case 1:
 echo "Time is money";
 break;
 case 2:
 echo "An apple a day keeps the doctor away";
 break;
 case 3:
 echo "Elmo loves dorthy";
 break;
 case 4:
 echo "Off to see the wizard";
 break;
 case 5:
 echo "Tomorrow is another day";
 break;
 case 6:
 echo "PHP is cool!";
 }
 ?> 

To add more quotes you would simply change the rand () function to allow for higher numbers, and then add in their corresponding cases below.

If you wanted to include a random quote on your PHP web page, you could simply use include () to pull the quote from this file, like this:

 INCLUDE 'http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/quote_file.php'
