why you call this simple?

Hello,

I don't understand why it's usefull to put this script inside a class.

It's enough to put this few rows of code inside the script (or maybe inside a function).

Before you contribute next time, first look arround and notice the real php classes here!

Hello Mr Olaf Lederer,

Thank you for your Critic, but please in case you didn't notice .. Just give a break ! for the junior developpers and learners ..and thanx for you depression ..

THIS site is to enrich the real PHP world ! as u call it .... so a nice critic ending with "well done , try harder next time for something better " would be better ! for sure you weren't born an OOP programmer .. it takes time !

And for asking why i call this "Very simple ? that's because i know it is a very small contribution in the real PHP world !

and Finally thank you again and i promise i won't contribute again ..thanx to you for sure !

Regards ,
Amr

Hello,

The fact you are a starter is not important, I know a lot of people with a age of 16 which are writing very smart php scripts (check www.phphulp.nl).

The point isn't your contribution at all, your script is not an example for using a class. You have more code and files for a simple and small function. On of the most important advantages while using a class is the easy interaction between methods.

If you call somthing simple then write it simple, like:

function pick_random($the_file) {
$read = file($the_file);
$x = shuffle($read);
return $read[$x];
}
echo pick_random("your_file.txt");

PS. Don't stop your contributions, but please write classes first!
