Okay so for a website I am helping to make, I want to rotate splash pages. For example, when user goes to the website, he'll be directed to one 4 random HTML pages.

Like, there will be the following pages:

index.html
index2.html
index3.html
index4.html
index5.html

And everytime the user goes to the website, a new splash page will randomly appear. How would I go about doing this? Any help would be much appreciated

index.php that randomly calls an index.html in a folder. It would work similar to random image script.

Could you please explain more? I'm not good at php at all, so I don't even know what I would need to add to the index.php file.

<?php
include('index'.rand(1, 5).'.html');
?>

or something like that, you may need to make them .php pages and include an echo, I'm not sure.

Whichever you prefer. Just change the exstention.

Yeah I'm not with the 3, 4, or 5th splash pages so once I get those done I'll add them to the rotation.

Looks nice. Good job.
