Phrase for every 10 visits

[Dexie]

Hi all,

Michal referred me here - thanks Michal.

I'm trying to present the visitor to the website with a simple 2 line phrase. The phrase would be shown to the person who visits the home page every 10th time, so *not* for the person's 10th visit, it's for every 10th visit generally. Can anyone please let me know how I can do this please?

My hosts server can take cgi.

Any help appreciated.

Sev.

try reformatting your php code and see what happens, like so

<?php 
$counterfile = 'counter.txt'; 
$phrasesfile = 'phrases.txt'; 
$multiple = 10; 
// Read in the value, trim off any newlines, and 
// convert it to an integer, 
// just in case: 
$text = intval(trim(@file_get_contents($counterfile))); 
// Update the file with the old value plus this hit:  
@file_put_contents($counterfile, $text += 1); 
// Is the value a multiple of 10?  
if ($text && $text % $multiple == 0) { 
 // Read the phrases file into an array: 
 $file = @file($phrasesfile); 
 print 'Hey! It\'s visit #' . $text . '!<br />'; 
 // Grab a random phrase from the file read in as an array: 
 print $file[rand(0, count($file) - 1)] . '<br />';  
} 
?>
