Tarot - 3 card spread

[evilicy]

As the title says  On page refresh shows 3 random cards no dupes. Hold your mouse over each card for a brief description (uses rollovers).

Install:

1. Download and extract the major_arcana.zip and upload the folder to site root (or change paths) 
2. Download and extract the cards.dat.zip and upload to site root (or change paths)
3. In a php article / block <----  add the following code:

Code Select Expand


function random_card($cards)
{
// holds the last used card
static $exclude = array();
$max = count($cards) - 1;

$o = mt_rand(0, $max);

if(count($exclude) > 0)
{
while(array_search($o, $exclude) !== false)
{
$o = mt_rand(0, $max);
}
}
$exclude[] = $o;
return $cards[$o];
}
$file = file_get_contents('cards.dat');
// splits $file into an array
$cards = preg_split("/(\r\n|\n)/", $file, NULL, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

echo random_card($cards)."\n";
echo random_card($cards)."\n";
echo random_card($cards)."\n";
