PHP Problem

[Extraction]

So what i have is a script that reads a .txt file and randomly chooses a line and displays the msg on my website. (a random quote generator)

This works fine the script until i try and do something else.

in the .txt file i have done this

<img src="/pictures/1.jpg" width="549" height="327" /> <?php include("rater.php"); ?>

Now what it does is this it displays the picture like it should but the PHP code it does not parse. when i click view source i can see the PHP code that i have written.

So im not sure if the random quote script is doing something so that the php code wont be parsed. Here it is:

<?php

// Name of your quote file
$quote_file = "pictures/pic.txt";
// Open the quote file
$fp = fopen($quote_file, "r");
// Read the contents and tokenize the file to individual quotes
$quotes = fread($fp, filesize($quote_file)); 
$array = explode("\n",$quotes); 
fclose($fp); 
// Find a random quote
srand((double)microtime()*1000000); 
$array_index = (rand(1, sizeof($array)) - 1); 
// Show the random quote
echo $array[$array_index]; 
?>

So yeah thanks for any help here guys much appreciated

Instead of using a php includes function, try copy and pasting the content in the php file directly into the text file.

I dont think that will work becuase it only reads one line ( the quote script ) and not to mention the file is quite long and im going to have more then 1 line added.

Have you tried adding the image to the php file and removing it from the text file?

is the .txt file being called into an shtml or php page?

in a php file

i renamed the extension to a .shtml but none of my PHP code works at all then
