 Week #8 Basic TO-DO ASSIGNMENT: Write a script to randomly choose a URL and redirect the surfer when clicked. Make the URL a javascript mouseover so that it is a blind link so the person clicking will not see the result in the browser status window.

Post this assignment here so that we can offer comment/critique for you, but also post a URL to the working copy of the script and the complete source code of the script in your post.

scriptname.php <-- script name

Good luck to you!

 The working URL to my script is:
http://www.katikai.com/ee/assi...0Assignment.php

As always all my scripts can be found at:
http://www.katikai.com/ee/assignment/

Heres my code:


<?php
if($url!=""){
if($url=='rnd'){
//If the url is set to rand activate the array
$urls=array(
//Set the array
'http://www.n00bstories.com/',
'http://www.scriptschool.com/',
'http://www.google.co.uk/',
'http://www.katikai.com/');
srand(time());
$count=count($urls);
$result=rand(0,$count);
//Count and get the results of the array
$url=$urls[$result];}
//Pick a random url and asign it to the url variable
header("Location:$url");
//Call up the url into the header() function
}
?>

 then i said i found this error under "Simple JavaScript Mouseover with PHP" on the course:


<?
if($in != "") {
if ($in == "rnd") {
$urls = array("http://www.tdscripts.com/",
"http://www.scriptschool.com/",
"http://www.php-scripts.com/",
"http://www.casinoluckydog.com/");
srand(time());
$count = count($urls);
$result = rand(0,$count);
$in = $urls[$result];
}
header("Location: $in");
}
?>

 the bug is that arrays start at 0 and the count() funtion starts counting at 1 so you gotta put the -1 after it like so:


<?
if($in != "") {
if ($in == "rnd") {
$urls = array("http://www.tdscripts.com/",
"http://www.scriptschool.com/",
"http://www.php-scripts.com/",
"http://www.casinoluckydog.com/");
srand(time());
$count = count($urls)-1;
$result = rand(0,$count);
$in = $urls[$result];
}
header("Location: $in");
}
?>



then i said "tsc tsc tsc blahblahblah", that part is stilll visible on the first post

 Bug here on this line PureGrain:

[CODE]
$result = count(0,$count);
[/CODE]

mt_rand() I think is what you are looking for as the function here.

 Thanks TDavid. I got ahead of myself. I actually had the code right the first time, then i saved over the file by accident and re-wrote it too fast i guess. :D
BTW, I was wondering why the url kept popping up MSN everytime. :)
here is the fixed code and url.



<?
if($header != "")
{
if($header == "random")
{
$url =array ("http://www.completronics.com/",
"http://www.msn.com/",
"http://www.google.com",
"http://www.scriptschool.com"
);
mt_srand(time());
$count = count($url);
$result = rand(0,$count);
$header =($url[$result]);
}
header("Location: $header");
}

?>

<HTML>
<BODY>
<a href="http://members.lycos.co.uk/xkoremaster/lesson8/lesson8.php?header=random"
onMouseOver="window.status='Yes, please click the link above!!!'; return true";
onMouseover="window.status=''";>Please click this link to be redirected to the site!</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks again TD

$count=count($urls); i made mine $count=(count($urls)-1) becasue my rand link would always throw in my directory wich i had all my php files in, and i didnt want that, just thought i would point that out...nerd, and get better grades :P

 Okay, got it, with the exception that the javascript code doesn't seem to work (on mine or anyone else's). I don't know if it's my browsers or a change in some standard... but since I'm focused on PHP at the moment, I'm ignoring it. I had to add this code to the beginning:


<?php

// Write a script to randomly choose a URL and redirect
// the surfer when clicked. Make the URL a javascript
// mouseover so that it is a blind link so the person clicking
// will not see the result in the browser status window.

$newurl = $_GET['in'];
if($newurl != "") {
if ($newurl == 'rnd') {
$urls = array("http://www.babyian.com/",
"http://www.algore.org/",
"http://www.apple.com/",
"http://www.bettersafercare.org/");
mt_srand(time());
$count = count($urls);
$result = mt_rand(0,$count);
$newurl = $urls[$result];
}

header("Location: $newurl");
}
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<p>
Click here and
<a href="http://www.algore.org/~admin/redirect.php?in=rnd"
onMouseOver="window.status='Click this link for some uncertainty'; return true;"
onMouseOut="window.status='';">Live a little.</a>
</p>

<?
// if $send is empty pick a url to put in the link
if($send == ""){
$urls=array('http://www.cool.com','http://www.sweet.com','http://www.awesome.com');
$num=count($urls)-1;
mt_srand(time());
$rand_num=mt_rand(0,$num);
$send=$urls[$rand_num];
// if $send is not email redirect to the $send url
}else{
header("Location: $send");
}
?>
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/testing/lesson8.php?send=<? print($send); ?>" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.fluffydomain.com'; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='';">Fluffy Stuff</a>
