Question : Random array script not working on web server

Hi all, I've got a script to load a random array and echo it in the relevant place in the HTML. It works on my server at home (I used XXAMMP so not sure what PHP version it is...). However, on my web server (Linux, Streamline.net) it doesn't work: http://www.thedigitalcreative.co.uk/dev/

Here's the code

$file_array = array

$total = count($file_array); 
$random = (mt_rand()%$total); 
$file = "$file_array[$random]"; 
?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Answer : Random array script not working on web server

And.. if you are getting the same value every time, this may be due to older version of PHP. You have to use mt_srand(); before mt_rand() in that case
