COPYRIGHT This script is copyright 2004 Ronnie Gauthier. You may use the standard include to call the quotes script. The following example will work. Just replace the path used in the example with your own correct path. If you wished you could use a SSI virtual call instead of a PHP include but I don't recommend the use of SSI unless php doesn't work... Then in that case what are you doing with this script?!!? What is the $file=thingy The ?file=what_file_name gets passed to the script when it is called. the what_file_name gets replaced with one of the names of the quotes selctions. Here is an example the would show quotes by Hellen Keller. Here is an example the would show quotes by Plato Don't worry about the file extension. We just call the file by its non.extension name. If you make a mistake in naming or the file name contains more than a-z,A-Z,0-9,_, or the script is called without a file name the the script will display a quote from the generic.txt file. So do not remove this file! Available quotes files. the files available are: abe_lincoln aesop aldous_huxley aristotle ben_franklin bofh (Bastard Operator From Hell) britney_spears carl_jung carl_sandburg cher winstomn_chruchill conficius dave_barry disraeli einstein erma_bombeck ernest_hemmingway fdr friedric_nietzsche gandhi generic george_orwell george_santayana hellen_keller henry_ford homer jean_paul_sartre jfk john_steinbeck lao_tzu Lee_iacocca mao_zedong napoleon_bonaparte oscar_wilde ovid plato popes robert_frost robert_h_schuller rudyard_kipling sophocles thomas_jefferson thomas_paine virgil voltaire walter_scott winston_churchill Creating your own quotes.txt file "You may create you own quote file, it's easy" -- Ronnie Gauthier The above line is a quote just like from the quote files. Each quote must be on one line only and the file must contain no blank lines. For speeds sake try to keep it under 500 quotes per file. name the file anything alpha-numeric, that is numbers and letters. A-z, a-z and 0-9. The script does check and will not display the file if it is not named as required.
