Codezwiz >> Forums >> Request a Script >> random quotes block

ok, i found a random quotes script on the internet, but its in PHP, and i tried to get it to work as a block, but no luck, can anyone help me out with this? here is the script:

<?
/* start by creating an array of quotes. To add to the array, just type $quote[#]="text you want displayed";

Each time you add to the aray, increase the # by 1*/

$quote[0]="first random quote";
$quote[1]="another random quote";
$quote[2]="another quote goes here";
$quote[3]="and this can go on forever";

/* If you add to the array, change the last number (3) to the number of the last item in the array.

If you remove items from the array, lower the last number to the amount of items in the array...*/
$randnum=mt_rand(0,3);

// this last line displays the quotes randomly.
echo $quote[$randnum];
?>

have you tried using the block creator in the Web Tools area?

ya, i tried that, it didnt work just got errors

Here is one in Javascript

place this in a script file

// Make sure these quotes don't wrap in your file

var quotes = new Array()
quotes[0] = "Every time history repeats itself the price goes up. - Anonymous"
quotes[1] = "The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you. - Robert Wilson"
quotes[2] = "To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable; to love all is glorious. - Thomas Traherne"
quotes[3] = "Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society. - Ralph Waldo Emerson"
quotes[4] = "Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions. - G. C. Lichtenberg"
quotes[5] = "Great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities. - Thomas Jefferson"
quotes[6] = "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. - Benjamin Franklin"
quotes[7] = "Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time. - Theodore Roosevelt"
quotes[8] = "We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it. - George Bernard Shaw"
quotes[9] = "So little done, so much to do. - Cecil Rhodes"

// This line displays one of these quotes, chosen at random, onscreen

document.write(quotes[Math.round(Math.random()*9)])

Hope this helps
