Random Quotes

[digisubs]

ive got pretty extensive quotes and TP keeps on truncating it at line 463. so i always get an unexpected $end error on the phpbox. is there a way for the php code to call an external text file so i can have as many random quotes as i want?

my quotes are in an external - randomquotes.inc file..add as many as I want..up to 700 hundred or so now..

I tried all the suggestions here to get this to work.  What worked for me was having my path as

../forum_folder/quote/

and the include to look like this:

include "../forum_folder/quote/randomquote.php";

and adding in the php after the <? at the beginning in randomquote.php.  After that, it all played nice.  Thank crip, nice lil snippet

IS there anyway to delay the quotes to lets say a day before a new one is generated?

No. Not if you're doing random quotes. You could set up the quotes differently so that there was a different quote for each day or would cycle through the quotes, no matter how many there are.

could just add one each day..Lol .. remove the one you already have & add 1 new one..coarse you'd need to do that daily..

No. Not if you're doing random quotes. You could set up the quotes differently so that there was a different quote for each day or would cycle through the quotes, no matter how many there are.

So how would you do that? I want to have one quote each day, not random, but one specifiic,  that I assign for that day. The deal is: I don't want to have to get online to change the quote dayly, rather for a whole week or month at once.

I responded in the other topic where you asked that question.
