In this tutorial, I will show you how show random content or you could use this tutorial show random advertisement.
The Full PHP Code

<?php


$fcontents = join ('', file ('somefile.txt'));


$s_con = split("~",$fcontents);


$banner_no = (rand()%(count($s_con)-0));

echo $s_con[$banner_no];


?>


PHP code explaination

The First Part:
The First part of the code will get the file.

<?php
//opening the text file, if this line gives you error when compiling
//then you need to chmod 755 your text file

$fcontents = join ('', file ('somefile.txt'));



The Second Part:
This part will split the content by ~


//Spliting contents of file by looking for ~ mark between contents
//and storing everything into an array.
$s_con = split("~",$fcontents);


The Last Part:



//getting a random number which will be within the limit of the
//contents of the file, means if 5 different banners/ads/contents then the number
//will be between 0-4 (total 5 )
$banner_no = (rand()%(count($s_con)-0));

//simple echo the content
echo $s_con[$banner_no];


In the .TXT File
