[TriLUG] javascript samples

Sun Jan 30 19:04:34 EST 2005

Took me about 10 minutes. I wrote up a quick php script... if you are 
interested.

Basically, you just create .txt files in a ./testimonial/ subdirectory, 
and it will randomly pull one... you can even include <html> code in your 
.txt files!

Enjoy
