Looking for a script...

[F U S I O N]

I have a list of 100 urls and descriptions that look like this:

SiteName.com - This is a description of the above site...

I want to have a page load and have 20-30 of these links be displayed at a time. Refresh the page and have a different set of 30 links load, all random.

Any ideas of a script or snippet of code I could use to accomplish this? I searched google but can't seem to find a script that will display the amount of links that I want it to...

Thanks in advance

Something like this:

<?php

$ARRAY = array(
    'sitename1.com' => 'This is a description',
    'sitename2.com' => 'This is a description'
    );

foreach ( $ARRAY as $URL => $DESC )
    print "<a href=\"$URL\">$URL</a> - $DESC\n";

?>

Thanks Swish!

How do I go about only displaying a certain amount of links at a time tho out of a bigger list?

<?php

$ARRAY = array(
    'sitename1.com' => 'This is a description',
    'sitename2.com' => 'This is a description'
    );

shuffle($ARRAY);
$counter=0; 
foreach ( $ARRAY as $URL => $DESC ) {
    if($counter < 30) {
    print "<a href=\"$URL\">$URL</a> - $DESC\n";
    $counter++;
    }
}
?>

A bit half-assed. I would do this with a mysql db instead.

Sounds pretty unnecessary for such a small script.

There are obviously more elegant ways to do this. This was only a simple example.
