Random File Picker v1.0

In Short:

This is another very simple script which will pick a random file, given search critera (and not defining every file). Multiple searches are supported.

 Demo:

Instructions:

First, set the $BaseURL variable to "http://server.com/". Next add searches to $RandomArray. All searches look like this:

$RandomArray{'search'} = "ServerDir,VirtualDir,Mask"


  • ServerDir is the actual directory to look for files, ie. /home/site/www/files/
  • VirtualDir is the URL used to access that directory ie. files/
  • Mask is the filemask you want to search for ie. *.mid for only MIDI files.

    Upload to your server in ASCII mode, chmod 775. To get a random file go to http://server.com/cgi-bin/ranfile.pl?Search Since this script uses redirects you don't need to worry about setting up mime types within the script, the server should take care of that.
