11 line random quote system

[orbstra@gmail.com]

<?php

//Variables
//Quotes
$quote[0] = "'If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0' -
T-Shirt";
$quote[1] = "Microsoft: 'You`ve got questions. We've got dancing
paperclips.' - Unknown";
$quote[2] = "I would love to change the world, but they won't give
me the source code!' - Unknown";
//Random Number
$rndNum = rand(1,3);
//Pring Random Quote
echo $quote[rndNum];
?>

Look at http://uk2.php.net/error_reporting

Turn up your error reporting level to maximum. PHP will then tell you why. The
code above will raise a warning message.

This will produce a random quote from an array...

<?php
//Where $quote is a string array
echo $quote[array_rand($quo te)];
?>

Also, here is what was wrong with your code...

<?php
//Variables
//Quotes
$quote[0] = "'If at first you don't succeed; call it
version 1.0' - T-Shirt";
$quote[1] = "Microsoft: 'You`ve got questions. We've
got dancing paperclips.' - Unknown";
$quote[2] = "I would love to change the world, but they
won't give me the source code!' - Unknown";

//Random Number
$rndNum = rand(0,2); //The range should be from 0, 2
not 1, 3
//Pring Random Quote
echo $quote[$rndNum]; //Left the $ off rndNum

?>

Wrong idea. Not integers.

Try shuffle($quotes );

echo $quote[0];
