I’ve converted my homepage to php. This has the benefit of maintaining standard HTML interaction, while allowing me to script certain things into my page. I wrote this because I hate java and java script with a passion. I blame it on my college’s use of blackboard. Its enough to make any one think twice.<\/p>\n
\nFor instance, if you will look at the bottom of my page, you will see a random quote appear. Here’s the code, which is really the whole reason for my making this post:<\/p>\n
\n<?php\n$quote_number = rand(0, 2);\n$quotes = array( \"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?\",\n\"We are the knights who say \"Ni!\" \",\n\"Umm, I'm a cucumber!\" );\necho \"{$quotes[$quote_number]}\";\n?><\/pre>\nRespectively, WarGames, Monty Python and the Holy Grail,<\/em> and Larry the Cucumber<\/em><\/p>\nThere’s not much to say about the code, I think it is fairly self explanatory.<\/p>\n
The first line generates a random variable between 0 and 2. This is really quotes 1 -3. If you add more quotes, you need to add increase the number.<\/p>\n
The second line is an array holding the quotes. The third line outputs the quote. Wrap it in <p> tags and you’re golden.<\/p>\n
Next up is getting ahold of the latest twitter post I make and displaying it on my homepage . . . .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
