Tutorial announcement .:: Building Random Quote Script ::.

Hello everyone...
today in this tutorial we will make an easy and fast :: random quote application :: this application will help you to retrieve random data from your database, text, images, links, with un sorted order.
if you have very large number of records in your database and hardly find the way to sort them, the best way is to randomly view it.
this application contains:
1- Insert new record to the database.
2- view random text each time you refresh your page.

Hi Purple Edge,
it would be great if you could figure out a way to determine file size before attempting an upload.
PHP can only access file data (e.g. size) after it´s been uploaded -- one would have to use Flash for this, as this technology is indeed capable to check such data immediately.

I'm looking for a random quote script for my website?

So I've got a very large numbered list of quotes. I want to set up a little text thing on my website's homepage so it displays a randomly selected quote from the list which changes every day. Can anyone write me a script to do this? I had one, but it stopped working and no one's been able to help me fix it (I've tried to get help with that more times than I care to remember) and I decided that it would be better to just get a new script.

I have a random script, but it also seems to not be working the way it was originally written, it now outputs a number 1 along with the intended output.
Take a peek here, there is a rotator script I am about to use on a site I am workng on.

Hi there Waleed (or anybody who can help
My name is Charis
If you have time I would like a little help....
I have been following your tutorial "Building Advanced Search" Tutorial
It is great, Just what I am looking for ........ but I can't get it to work properly (work at all)
I am pretty good at Dreamweaver I can setup the rest of my site ok I can create databases insert and display data no problem
I can follow your tutorial steps 1,2 and 3 ok but I get lost in part 4 "building results page" It is all a bit over my head but I have been trying
I am having trouble creating the recordset, I can create simple recordsets no problem but I have never had to cut and paste anything so......
In yoututorial "step2 Copy and past into SQL Query"
I am assuming you mean paste into the 3rd text field on the recordset dialoge box, below the "name' and 'connection' fields
I can copy and paste the code into that field no problem
I am guessing that I have to test it and then the variable fields would be automatically populated.... but no....
I follow your diagrams and create the variables 'KTColParam1' and 'KTColParam2' and configure as shown in your diagrams (screenshots)
But in you next diagram there are KTCColParam1,2,3,4,5 and six and I not sure how to configure them?
And that is as far as I can get
Am I missing somthing? AM I doing somthing wrong?
Could you please give me a little help to sort this out? or update the tutorial with a little more detalail would be great
My email is [email protected]
This is the exact thing I need to get my site up and running so any help would be great

Script for "random quote"

Can anyone please point me at a javascript that will display
a random quote
when the page is loaded?

You miss the point bonehead. What I meant was, surely amongst
this vast
experienced community, some of these coders have experience
with a script as
requested; I was asking for pointers to those specifically,
as it would have
been about as much typing to say "go to www.whatever.com to
look at this one
I've used" as to type "do a google search for it". Don't need
anyone to do
any work for me, just point me at scripts you've had actual
experience at.
Easy 'nuff to understand now?

Solaris packaging - "build" class action script

I tried to create a package with a build class action script but having problem with it. I am wondering if any one could give me hint on how to solve this problem? I tried to follow the example on the Solaris tutorial but it didn't work either.
In the prototype file, I have added: e build /etc/randomtable=etc/randomtable ? ? ?
In the pkginfo I have added: CLASSES=�none build�
Content of etc/randomtable in my build directory:
!install
# randomtable builder
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
echo "/etc/randomtable is already in place.";
else
echo "# /etc/randomtable" > /etc/randomtable
echo "1121554 # first random number" >> /etc/randomtable
fi
!remove
# randomtable deconstructor
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
# the file can be removed if it's unchanged
if [ egrep "first random number" /etc/randomtable ]; then
rm /etc/randomtable;
fi
fi
The error I got after running pkgadd on that package:
Modifying /etc/randomtable
/var/sadm/pkg/BPCttdb.2/save/build/etc/randomtable: !install: not found
/var/sadm/pkg/BPCttdb.2/save/build/etc/randomtable: !remove: not found
/var/sadm/pkg/BPCttdb.2/save/build/etc/randomtable: test: unknown operator first random number
pkgadd: ERROR: class action script did not complete successfully
Some links related to class action script for solaris build:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0406/6mg76stf7?a=view
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/PACKINSTALL/ch5pkgcasestudies-80583.html#ch5pkgcasestudies-56
Thanks!

I looked at the build script (/usr/sadm/install/scripts/i.build and r.build), and didn't see anything that parses the "!" directive. I'm not very familiar with build scripts, and the documentation is actually inherited from the original SVR4 documentation (not originating from Sun). But in looking at an example of a script that uses the build class, it expects the first argument to be either "install" or "remove" when called. So your example would look like this below. Note that my comment about the escaped comment can be ignored. It's surrounded by quotes, so is okay.
if [ $1 = install ] ; then
# randomtable builder
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
echo "/etc/randomtable is already in place.";
else
echo "# /etc/randomtable" > /etc/randomtable
echo "1121554 # first random number" >> /etc/randomtable
fi
else
# randomtable deconstructor
if [ -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable ]; then
# the file can be removed if it's unchanged
if \[ egrep "first random number" $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/randomtable \]; then
rm /etc/randomtable;
fi
fi
So basically the SVR4 Applications Developers Guide incorrectly tries to use the "!install" and "!remove" commands.

Random Quotes

I want to have a random quote (chosen from a separate file)
displayed on our site that changes on a daily basis. I have about
100+ quotes that are in a already in a HTML file using a table. Do
they need to be in a different format eg SQL file.
How do I get it to place one quote in a certain place, and
choose a new quote the next day all automatically? I have seen SSI
in use, but I'm not sure if this can do what I want.
If anybody has a way to do this with very little input after
it's set up I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Pakman

Put the script on your page, it will produce a random quote
each time the
page is loaded.
Place linked text between <a href=http://www.google.com
and </a> like so:
Quotation[0] = "<a href=http://www.google.com>Truth is
beauty;</a>
beauty,truth";
Quotation[1] = "The time has come, <a
href=http://www.yahoo.com>the Walrus
said</a> to speak of many things";
If this isn't robust enough, there a many more scripts
available at dynamic
drive. This one uses Ajax to rotate include files.

Hi Carlene
but the Update Record, to change the user's information will not work.
to achieve that go to the users area and create a new page named "update_information.php" or what ever you prefer.
apply the basic update form wizard to the page by selecting > server behavior > adobe developer toolbox > forms > update record form wizard
1- select the required fields like: database name | table name "where the users information stored in".
2- select which fields you want the user to update "User name | Password | Email address etc...
3- in the primary field value equal to "URL Parameter" the "tbl_id" change it to be "SESSION VALE" & in the value textbox add this value -- kt_login_id
click the next button to continue
in the validation rules select the desired fields you wish to become required.
Click the Finish button to end the wizard.
now you have a user update information page restricted only to registered users in your website.
don`t forgot to apply the "restrict access to page" over the page to make sure it`s protected.

Random quote generator

Does anyone know of a random quotes generator plug-in/applescript or another way to generate random quotes on one's calendar?

Thanks Don. That helps just a bit.
However, while I appreciate the sample page of randomizing,
and although I reviewed the code, I would still like to be able to
simply use the WYSIWYG setup through DreamWeaver.
Again, Its more the just randomly displaying the list. Its
making sure I can apply separate CSS to the quote and the name and
making sure the name stays with the quote.
I basically just need to know that I wrote the XML sheet
correctly, what XML items to choose in the data set window along
with what functionality to set and whether or not I have to write
extra code in addition.
I do appreciate your response.

Suggestions for simple random image script

Would like to randomly display one of five new JPG banner each time page is loaded.
Your experience would be appreciated.
Thanks

Since no one replied, I am posting solution I found.for future inquiries.
Simple PHP Random Image Script
This can be done in one line of text directly in your HTML and a collection of images.
The first step is to gather together the images you wish to have randomly rotated.
Change all of their file names to a numerical order, starting with the number 1.
    * 1.jpg
    * 2.jpg
    * 3.jpg
    * 4.jpg
Be sure each image has the same extension (either all jpg, png, or gif),
and that there are no gaps in the numbers.
Also, place these images in their own folder to keep everything organized.
Write the Code
In the HTML of your page, insert the following code where you want an image to display:
<img src="path/<?php echo rand(1,n);?>.jpg" alt="Random Image" />
The “rand” operator will display a randomly generated number between 1 and ‘n’.
Change ‘n’ to the total amount of pictures you have arranged numerically
(or the highest numbered picture you have).
In the example above I only have 4 pictures, therefor I would change it to: rand(1,4);
