Re: [PHP] Random php
I had been on that site before, but seems like it is a breeding ground for spam and links to free commercial sites. Ran into a few bad or broken links, several listings as different scripts only to take you to the same best price hosting company with no scripts at all. Is this common, is that site on its way out? Would you have another suggestion? Thanks for your help. Gary Phpster phps...@gmail.com wrote in message news:146a4da4-0114-474c-92f8-b8d3a5ecc...@gmail.com...

So, you can go through the ads/sponsors but there are working examples/free code snippets as well. Just googling with that random quote php could yield you a lots of practical results.
