50/50 php traffic filter

Hi

I'm looking for script which will send first clickt to address1 second click to address2 third click to address 1 etc...

I have something like this

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

$a=rand(0,1);

if($a==0){

      Header("Location: http://www.google.com");

}

   else{

     Header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com");

}

?>

it's almost ok because here is 50% chance that will be 0 or 1, but here can be 3 times in turn 1 next can be 5 time in turn o etc. I need exactly 50/50.

Can you help ?

You could store a 0 or 1 value in a database, and have the value change every time the code executes... but that seems like a lot of resources to use up just to be in control over something like that.

Over a wide sample, random values should equal 50/50 odds. |huh

Why do you need 50/50, exactly?

Also, I'd rather have the code cycle through an array of header values, this way you can easily add more headers later. |thumb

For this u need to record the last selection...

and then check this last selection before choosing where to send the user...

You have to remember somehow the last selection. You could do it using a database table or textfile. I don't see other means to do it.

Hey, do you want this script to operate on a per visitor basis?

Example, it rotates 50/50 between the two URLs on each individuals click(s).

OR

on a global level where each click made by ALL visitors is stored and recorded by the system and the 50/50 chance is based on all clicks being made throughout the system..

Thanks,
Levi
