Does anyone know any good PHP script for my site?
I want to make an on the web political simulation game so I need to make the issues or problems for the nation appear randomly when the user loggs in. So can somebody please give me a script to make things come out randomly.It would be preferaable if it was free.

your laziness amuses me.
but i’m going to answer anyway.
Use the rand function, it returns a random number between two numbers.
You can map that to an array or to a database table identifier or whatever you like.
Anyway, in the page referenced below there are more scripts submitted by the community

Hi !
The basic concept given by delm is correct but I would like to give it’s more clear representation.
-> Create a database table and enter all the “political questions” in that as records with each record having an integer Primary Key.
-> Now to select a random question, you need to include following code line in your PHP script:
$ randID = rand(FIRST_RECORD_ID, LAST_RECORD_ID);
-> You’ll get a random integer and then just run this SQL query:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE record_id=$ randID
-> If it returns an empty result, repeat the randomisation.
I hope the above procedure will help you to do the small script. If you still find some difficulty, let me know.
