[thelist] A tip with PHP

[Damien Cola]

Hi, I've just done a little script in PHP and I thought I'd share it with
you to thank you for your previous help:

It's a script that should sit in a folder and be nammed 'index.php'
in this folder you can have as many other HTML files as you want. (be
careful not to have the images in the same folder, create a subfolder)

The script will look up the number of files and will take one at random and
display it. so you can add and remove pages at your will..
for a index.php which has a different face each time !

Hope you like it.
