  1. POUsing the rand () php function to display random xml files
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to write a php that generates xml files randomly. The php would generate a random number between 1-10 inclusive and each number 1-10 would have a xml file assigned to it in the php which would appear when the respective number is generated. </p> <p>So far I have:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php print rand() . "&lt;br&gt;"; print rand(1, 10); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>How do I integrate the xml files into this php? Using this xml example:</p> <p><strong>Example 1</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="3.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;channel&gt; &lt;title&gt;The Dog in the Park&lt;/title&gt; &lt;link&gt;http://pets.com/doginthepark/&lt;/link&gt; &lt;description&gt; The dog in the park &lt;item&gt; &lt;guid&gt;1234&lt;/guid&gt; &lt;title&gt;poodle's video&lt;/title&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Example 2</strong> </p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="3.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;channel&gt; &lt;title&gt;The Cat in the Park&lt;/title&gt; &lt;link&gt;http://pets.com/kitteninthepark/&lt;/link&gt; &lt;description&gt; The cat in the park &lt;item&gt; &lt;guid&gt;1235&lt;/guid&gt; &lt;title&gt;kitten video&lt;/title&gt; &lt;item&gt; &lt;guid&gt;123455&lt;/guid&gt; &lt;title&gt;tiger video&lt;/title&gt; </code></pre> <p>So the XML files above have the assigned numbers 1 &amp; 2. How would I assign the number in code to the correct XML and how would I be able to generate a random XML return of the numbers 1-10 which also display the XML file details. </p> <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated! Sorry if this question is obvious, I'm a rookie at this :)</p>
